HAVING been solicited by a number of highly respectable Burgesses of your Ward to represent it in the Town Council, <a 'vacancy having occurred by the elevation of J. NELSON WOOD, Esq., to the office of Alderman,) I have pleasure in acceding to your re t. I have always been a s rter of Conservative principles. At the same time, I thi that party politics should have little or nothing to do e duties of Town Councillor. • I am a residen the 'Maid, and should my election take place, I shall einy best exertions to promote the 'interests of the Ward and the Town generally. 1 am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, GEORGE BOOKER. 8, Rodney-street, Nov. 10th, 1847. TO THE ELECTORS . OF ABERCROMBY WARD. GENTLEMEN, A T the request of a large and influential Deputa tion of the Electors of your Ward, I have consented to come forward as a CANDIDATE to supply the vacancy in the Town Council occasioned by the Election of James Procter, Esq., to the office of Alderman. A Conservative in principle, I am decidedly opposed to the unnecessary introduction of political or party spirit into the Council-chamber ' • and, if elected, I w ill en d eavour to carry out every measure which shall appear to me calculated to promote the social and general welfare of • habitants of your Ward, as well as ofthe town at lar I am, Gentlem , very respectfully, Your most obedient Servant, R. C. GARDNER. Newshattt-ho e,loth Nov., 1847. The COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING Mr. GARDNER'S ELECTION meet at the PHCENIX INN, Mount Pleasant, EVERY EVENING, where every information may be obtained. TO THE ELECTORS OF ABERCROMBY WARD. GENTLEMEN, THE time is now arrived when the Electors should rouse themselves from their apathy. They are investing men with the power of dispensing the funds of one of the largest and most important Corporate Estates in England, and of taxing the people to almost any -extent, for carrying out those measures which Government has imposed upon them by the passing of the Health Bill. Would-not any of you, in the management of your own pri vate affairs, seek advice from, and -place your confidence in, men of education and standing in the town, whose extensive transactions and experience qualify them for assisting you? Such are to be found amongst the Tradesmen, as well as the Merchants. The Town Council ought wholly to be composed of such men ; but, comparatively speaking, how few thtre are of this character in the present bo . is notorious that the respectable part of the inhabit hold themselves aloof from municipal affairs. That which ought to considered an honour, and which would be so if the ctors. knew - their real interest, is now despised and held i contempt. No man can refuse to serve as Town 'Councillor without subjecting himself to a heavy penalty. No man would refuse the office if it were conferred upon him as an honourable distinction. .On Wednesday morning next Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE will be nut in nominaion to represent this Ward in Council. Let us, the Electors, discard every other thought from our minds than that of the public good. Let those who have votes hasten to the poll to tender them in favour of Mr. GLADSTONE, setting an example worthy of imitation for all future occasions.

GENTLEMEN, HAVING been waited upon by a deputation of influential Gentlemen interested in your Ward, request ing me to allow myself to be put in nomination as a Candidate for your Municipal Representation, I cheerfully accede to their request, and at once announce myself a Candidate for your suffrages. As an owner and occupier of Pro e in the Ward, my interests are identified with your ; and, with regard to my Political Principles, they a believe, well known to you ; and, if you do me the ur of electing me, I trust I shall never give you, occasi to say either that your interests have been neglected, or at your confidence has been misplaced. I , very respectfully, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, THOS. DOVER. 18, Water-street, Nov. 12, 1847. TO THE ELECTORS OF GREAT GEORGE WARD. GENTLEMEN, T Have been •waited on by a highly-respectable I Deputation of Gentlemen, resident in the Ward, of both political parties, to request that I would allow myself to be NOMINATED as CANDIDATE for the SEAT in the COUN CIL become vacant by the appointment of Mr. Joseph Cooper as an Alderman of the Borough. I have acceeded to their request, and now announce myself as a Candidate for your suffrages at the coming Election. 1 doubt net that many others might have been found pos sessing greater ability.and influence than myself, but I yield to none in my disposition to make myself useful to my neighbours and townsmen; and, having been a tradesman established among you for a considerable period—my prosperity and inter ests being identified with your own—l trust I may, without presumption, solicit your support. Although ready at all times to avow y principles, Ido not think the Council Chamber show e the arena for political disputes. The duties of the Con appear to me to consist in the preservation of the Cor ation property, the judicious expen diture of its incom e making such arrangements as will facilitate and inc se the business of the town, and promote the health and comfort of all its inhabitants. I have endeavoured for some time past, as one of the Com,. mittee of Management of the Guardian Gas Company, to obtain for tbe Borough the great advantage of Cheap light; the price now paid by consumers will show that the efforts of the Company have, to a great extent, been successful. As a mem ber of the Select Vestry, I have zealously endeavoured to per form my duty. Should you return me to the Council, I would go there independent and unpledged. I would pay to the duties of the office aiy best attention, and should at all times be glad to re ceive such suggestions from my constituents as would enable me the more efficiently to perform its functions. I am, Gentlemen, Yours very respectfully, JOHN ROGERS. St. Jantes's-street, Liverpool, November 11, 1847. Observe that the Signature of the proprietor, "G. C.

The astonishing success which has crowned the application of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced; and such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. Amongst many which are bein. . aily received are thefollow ing testimonials : MOrleti'ir 'tel. Strand. 18th August, 1846. Si 11,-1 have hitherto s ' a prejudice against having recourse to advertised medicin • ~ but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lurn s • as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the m eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say, in less than an hour from the time applied the Lotion, I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and Most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom from pain. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours, HENRI VILLENNEVE. 14, Belmont place, Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844. • SI feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to try your embrocation, and have•the' pleasure to say that after three applications I was restored to MY usual health ; and, al though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder. —I am, Sir, gratefully yours, • !: EDWARD NOYES. • • Sold by Pendlebury, Russell•street ; TitheritigtOn, Oxford street; Hogaxtb, Great .George-street; Fisher, Bold-street; Coupland, Parker-street; Gerrard, Q10:ill-street ; Parkins on , New Scotland-road; Neal, Scotland-road ; Simpson, Scotland_ road, opposite St. Martin's Market; Mackow, Vauxhall-road ; Britten, corner of Dale-street and Haymarket; Smith, Great Homer-street; Cox, Fox-street ; Gillard, Richmond-row; Low, Islington ; Walker, London-road; Parry, Christian-street ; Wagstaff, Great George-piace ; Priestley, 4.ldr:it-met ; Smith Woodside.

HYAM'S READY-MADE CLOTHING ESTABLISHMENT, LORD-STREET. MR. HOPE AND MR. FEAR. Mr. Fear hung down his head, He seemed to be in hopeless dread, •" Bad times, bad Bones," he sigh'd alas ! For every rank and every class ; • And as he gave his feelings e, There came behind him r. Hope ;" ." Good morning, Mr ear," said he, "You look as w led as can be; Come, bustle nstead of whines Prepare to ethe pressing times; Let all u ~ and then, my friend, The ti s will soon begin to mend." Whvlook, my friend, at Hyalites shop, Their efforts ne'er a moment stop; Just take a glance, and there behold The wonders that they now unfold; Their mighty piles—their winter choice— Will make the hearts of all rejoice, Whilst prices suited to the times, Are markzd on all their new designs. THE Public of Liverpool and the surrounding dis tricts should avail themselves of the first opportunity of inspecting this costly and monster stock of clothinz, &c. To attempt to enter into any description of the multiplicity of garments here concentrated in one Establishment would be perfectly impracticable; in fact, it would take up too much space, and occupy too much of the time of our friends. Under those circumstances the Proprietors of the Pantechnetheca must simply content themselves with stating, that everything can now be obtained in the shape of Clothing, Hats, Caps, and Hosiery, thereby not only saying the inconvenience and trouble of going from place to place, but, likewise, they are offered at terms so exceedingly moderate that the parties patronizing this emporium of usefulness must feel a degree of satisfaction commensurated with an Establishment designed to meet the wants and the wishes of an increasing population such as Lancashire.

T HE GREATEST CURES OF ANY MEDICINE IN THE GLOBE. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. AMPUTATION OF TWO LEGS PREVENTED. Extract of a Letter dated Roscommon, February 19th, 7547, from the highly-respectable Proprietor of the Roscommon Journal. Sir,—Mr. Ryan, the well-known proprietor of the hotel next door to me, had two very bad legs, one with eight ulcers on it, the other with three, they were in such a fearful state that the effluvia from them was very great. Sometime since he made a j ou rney to Dublin for the purpose of consulting some of the . most eminent professional men, but r turned home to his fa mily with the choice of either one of o alternatives—to have both legs amputated, or die !—On s way home he met a gen tleman in the coach who reconnn ded the use of Holloway's pills and Ointment, which he d recourse to, and i'vas per fectly cured by their means a e.

In the following r iarkable case the lady•bad been both deaf . and dumb from the virulence of the complaint. • February 19th, 1847. Mrs. Gibbons, of Tivoli-place. Cheltenham, was for two years so dreadfully afflicted with Erysipelas that she b ecame (how ever e xtraordinary it may appear) both bli n d an d d ea f . f rom the severity of the disease , and during the whole of the time she was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in Cheltenham, without receiving any benefit whatever, and, as a last resource, she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which in two months perfectly cured the dreadful complaint, and like wise restored her to health.. n- Mrs. Stoyle, the very respectable landlady of the New market Inn, Cheltenham, can bear witness to this care. It can also b e a uthenticated at the Stationers, No. 10, Arcade, High street, Cheltenham. In all Diseases of. the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds and Ul cers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples,Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers, Tumours, Swel ngs, Gout, Rheumatism, and Lumbago, likewise in cases of Piles ; Ilolloway's Pills, in all the above cases, ought to be used with the Ointment ; as by this means cures will he effected with a much greater certainty, and in half the time that it would require •by using the Ointment alone.

ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. The royal mail steam ship Cambria, Captain Judkins, came up the river last night at five o'clock, with dates from New York to the 30th ult. inclusive. She left Bos ton on the Ist, and Halifax on the 4th instant, at half past two, nod., and brings a week's later intelligence than that received by the French steamer announced elsewhere. The Cambria has experienced rather heavy weather during the run home, but has, notwithstanding, made a splendid passage. She was kept back fora couple of days by strong easterly winds, but for the last four or five days of the voyage she had fresh breezes from the westward which brought her at a smart rate up to port. The stock market at New York continued very much unsettled : prices fluctuated a fraction from day to day, and the operations did not show any great activity in the market. All classes were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the French steam ship Philadelphia, from Cherbourg, which had been out twenty days, and until her arrival no material change was expected. The demand for sterling exchanges was very active on the 29th ult., but the amount of bills on the market of undoubted character was so limited that the demand was by no means satisfied. The market was abundantly supplied with second and third rate hills, but those wishing to remit had not suffi cient confidence in them. Canada and West India bank bills were offered at nine and nine-and-a-half per cent. premium. Prime bills on London were quoted at 9to 9} per cent. premium; on Paris, sf. 231 to sf. 221; Amster dam, 44 to 401. The advices from Europe had tended to unsettle commercial classes, and partially to destroy con fidence, but the suspension of the house of Prime, Ward, and Co. had been the only disaster of consequence. The assets of that house being to a very great extent in the hands of parties in this country, not more than five to ten cents on the dollar would be paid to the creditors in America. It was estimated that there were sufficient funds in the treasury to carry on the war until April next, which was a more gratifying state of things than was an ticipated. It had not been determined on what method would be resorted to to raise more money, but it was the general opinion that another issue of treasury notes would be the most feasible plan. The suspension of Reid, Irving, and Co. had caused some anxiety about the Bank of Charleston, but it had passed away, as the sum of £3,675 comprised the extent of the implication of the bank with that firm. Advices from Vera Cruz to the 22nd ultimo had been received. They do not alter to any great extent the pre vious posture of affairs in Mexico. There had been no arrivals from the city of Mexico, or from Puebla, but there were a thousand contradictory rumours. No ap prehension was felt for General Lane's command, as it was believed that he would enter Puebla without difficulty. The ship Monterey had arrived at Vera Cruz from New York, with marines. General Patterson had not left Vera Cruz for the capital, but was expected to start within the week. The Mexican Congress was about to assemble at Queretaro, and the administration was made up of those who had advocated peace from the beginning, and the majbrity of the members of Congress who are expected to meet at Queretaro are presumed to be simi larly disposed. The only actual official despatches received from General Scott were dated the 4th of June last, and since that time not a line has been received from him. He had issued an official order that undoubted information had been received that an extensive conspiracy was on foot to surprise, by-means of an insurrection, the Ameri can guards and quarters, and to murder their officers and men. On the 27th, Santa Anna attacked the American Works at Puebla. The firing was continued for two days by both parties. On the Ist Oct. Santa Anna sallied out with 2000 cavalry, &c., to attack the American trains. He reached Perote on the 4th, and soon after all his men excepting about 130 deserted him, accusing him of inca pacity. A report prevailed at Vera Cruz that the Texan Rangers, sent out to attack the guerillas, had nearly all been got off. Four thousand Americans, with a heavy train, were about to leave Vera Cruz for the South. Rumor said that Gen. Patterson would march against a new State of Mexico, not yet invaded. All was quiet at the National Bridge. The Legislature of the department at Vera Cruz assembled at Huntascalca on the 27th. The Arco Iris says that Herrera had assembled 10,000 men of the National Guards at Queretaro. Tt was confidently stated, that should all things go on as at present, the American President in his annual message will recommend to Congress to prosecute the war as long as there shall be a show of resistance on the part of the Mexicans. Major Twiggs was amongst the killed at the city of Mexico. The packet-ship Zurich, which left Havre Oct. sth, arrived at New York on the 30th. She passed the French steam-ship Philadelphia, which it was thought had put into Halifax for coals. The Zurich was making eleven miles under sail, and the Philadelphia steaming, without sails, apparently going 7 miles, when the Zurich saw her. Theßench of Bishops of the American Episcopal Church, having under consideration the letter of Bishop Onder donk, complaining of injustice, &c., have reaffirmed the sentence, or expressed their approbation of it, 17 to 6; They have also given Bishop 0. leave to withdraw his letter, with a pretty distinct opinion that there is no prospect at all of his restoration. Bishop Chase, of New Hampshire, did not vote, and Bishops Potter of Penn.; and Smith of Kentucky, were absent. Thursday, the 25th November, had been appointed a thanksgiving day in a great many of the States. The packet-ship Constitution, for this port, had about 100,000 dollars in gold, and the Garrick, also for this port, had about the same amount. A dreadful railway accident had occurred at South Rovalston, on the Vermont and Massachusetts railroad, by the falling of a bridge whilst a train passed over. Five , persons were killed and a number seriously injured. It was generally rumoured and believed that General Armstrong, U.S. Consul at Liverpool, had resigned his office; but the Nashville Union contradicted the report. The Immigration Commissioners reported that 94 ves sels had landed in the province of New Brunswick during the season, with 15,269 passengers. The deaths at sea on board these vessels were 662. A St. John (N. 8.) paper of the 27th ult. gives an ac count of a ship being picked up at sea a few days' sail from St. John,—the ship Java, of 400 tons burthen,— which vessel had sailed from St. John on the 21st for Liverpool, with a cargo of deals, under the command of Captain Wright. She was perfectly tight and in good order when picked up, but no one was on board. There had been no storm since she left port. She was formerly a whaling vessel.—The ship Neptunus, Capt. Robinson, from Liverpool for St. John, N. 8., with a cargo of salt, coal, and merchandise, struck on the N.W. Ledge, Briar Island, 22d ult., and sank in a few hours. Vessel insured for £6,000. Crew saved. Some celebrated blood horses and English sheep, imported by Mr. M'Monegle, for the improvement of the breed of the provinces, were on hoard. The yellow fever had ceased at New Orleans as an epidemic. Texas papers to the 16th of October state that the yellow fever prevailed at Galveston. The subject of dividing the country into two states was greatly agitating the public of Texas. • We publish below the commercial accounts by this arrival. M With respect to the prospects of the probable extent of the cotton crop now coming to market, the New York circular of Mr. T. J. Stewart, prepared for transmission by the Cambria, says,—" We are not yet i n rece i p t o f any accounts of a frost sufficiently severe to check its vegetation, which has been looked for ere this with much confidence by those who have operated on the belief of a crop under 2,000,000 bales, and in which estimate confi dence appears to be a good deal shaken, although not vet entirely relinquished ; and lately, operations have been made here on the belief of its reaching 2,200,000 bales. It is evident that in the p resent sens i tive state of the p u bli c milich there is a widely extending disposition to over estimate it has producti on , l os i ng s i ght entirely o f t h e ninny injuries has received during the season of its growth." On the same subject the circular of Messrs. Lewin and. Wright says, " public opinion here and at the south :p - pears to have s e ttl e d u p on th e cro p o f about . t hales. 'We view the extent of the prodaebon, n?w, as a matter of much less - importance than we did six weeks ago, and are of opinion that the demand and not the gum.* will decide the question of price for some time to come- Planters, however, are much more likely to hold back time crop this year than usual, in case of very low prices from their increased prosperity and pecuniary ability to do so." The Barbadoes Globe learns upon reliable authority that slavery is soon to be abolished in the Danish and Dutck, West Indies. NEW YORK, OCT. 30.—The sales of Cotton for the week end ing last evening amounted to 9,900 boles, including 5,750 Upisn't and Florida and 4,150 Mobile and New Orient s.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 23.—burin; the last two days only 220 bales have been sold at prices ranging from 9k to 9 cents, which show a decline on the sale of Wednesday of about y to lc; the transactions, however, have been too limited to estab lish prices, and the future must determine what effect theseac counts will have on our market, and we erase all quotations.

He only left this country in 1842, and was, at the time of his death, vicar of St. Mary's, Taranaki. FRANCE.—The accidental discharge of the pistol of one of the servants of an officer on the King's staff, just as his Majesty had, on Thursday evening, reached the Paris ter minus of the Corbeil railroad, on his return from Fontaine bleau, occasioned considerable sensation in the French capital. We are assured, however, that the king felt sa tisfied that the.affair had been purely accidental. SWITZERLAND.-The latest news leaves little donbr the commencement of hostilities on Thursday last, the 11th instant, when, in all probability, Friburg would have been captured by the Radicals. Still the offer of media tion by Great Britain might. it was deemed possible (but we do not share in this hope), arrest the civil war. SPAlN.—Since the royal reconciliation, a remarkable silence has been preserved by the Madrid papers upon the subject. Once or twice it was mentioned that the queen walked from one part of the palace to another, leaning on the king's arm. But beyond this very unequivocal evi dence of mutual felicity, we do not remember any other symptom of it, except the fact that his Majesty is per mitted to occupy his own apartments instead of being re quired to share those of his illustrious consort. The Gazette of the 7th instant publishes a royal decree, ap pointing the Marquis de Miraflores President of the Se nate, and the Duke de Gor and the Prince d'Anglona Vice-Presidents of that assembly. By a second decree, the Queen accepted the resignation of M. Lopez de la Torre Ayllon, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary of Spain at Lisbon, and named as his successor General Ross de Olano, former Minister of Commerce and Public Instruction. The Queen being anxious to give Lieutenant-General Fernandez de Cordova "a proof of her royal esteem, and of her appreciation of his ser vices and loyalty," had conferred on him the Grand Cross of the Royal and Noble Order of Charles HI. PORTUGAL.—Advices from Lisbon, to the 9th instant, have been received. The ministerial crisis still continued. though on more than one occasion it appeared to have been terminated by the appointment of a Liberal Cabinet. Financial difficulties are the main impediment, and that obstacle is on the increase, as 15,000 sovereigns were pre pared for shipment by this packet. A few chiefs of the Liberal party had paid their respects at the palace. The Queen was delivered of a prince on the sth instant. Her Majesty attended the Italian Opera the previous night, and remained till 11 o'clock. Frequent alarms prevailed during the week, but the peace of the city was fortunately not disturbed. The British fleet is now anchored off Packet- stairs. A HINT TO THE LADIES.—The Nottingham Jattrnat states that a singular fraud has been successfully attempted by some laceworkers, who have given to cotton the ap pearance of silk. Silk thread is dissolved by a chemical process, and after the cotton thread has been drawn through the solution thus obtained, it has the gloss and appearance of silk thread, from which the eye cannot distinguish it. The brig Elizabeth, 250 tons, Capt. Wilson, of New castle, from Odessa, laden with wheat, was wrecked on: the Bth instant, shortly after clearing the Mediterranean. For several days she had made a good deal of water, and the crew after severe suffering, took to the long boat, when after staying by the brig for three hours in a heavy sea, they saw her go down head foremost, her stern blow ing up as she disappeared. The crew were fortunately res cued by a smack, and have been brought to Plymouth. THE PLYMOUTH BRETUREN.—On Wednesday week, about 300 of that religious body k nown as " Ti le Pl ymouth. Brethren," assembled in Exeter, from Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset, for two days devotional exercise. The first day's devotional proceedings were confined to the mem bers. On the second day the public were admitted. The principal speakers were Mr. Darby, Mr. Chapman, of Barnstaple, Mr. Harris, Sir A. Campbell, and Air. i gram. West Briton. SAWING IRON.—It is often forgotten by smiths that iron, when heated, may be put into a vice, and the ends may be readily split by a suitable saw. A saw fit for this purpose should be thicker at the edge than at the back, and with uniform teeth, 1-12th of an inch apart. The saw when used must be often dipped in water, to prevent its becoming too much heated. It may be mentioned, that a bar of iron, of almost any size, may be sundered,_ while hot, by the simple application of common roll brim stone.—The Builder. SUNDAY TRADING.—At a meeting last week of the Corporation of London, a report was read respecting Sunday trading, which- stated that, in obedience to an order of the Court, to consider the report of the inspec tors of weights and measures for the last year, the com mittee for general purposes certified that they proceeded therein, and directed the inspectors to visit their districts upon some Sunday, and report their observations as con nected with Suinlay trading; and having subsequently received a report from them thereon, they had annexed the same to that report. The committee-had considered the subject of Sunday trading, and were of opinion - that it it is not expedient for the inspectors to exercise the dutiee of their aide upon Sunday.—Sir P. Laurie said the com mittee had recommended that the inspectors should not be directed to inspect the weights and measures of trades people on. Sundays, because so to employ them would be sanctioning Sunday trading by the authority of the Court. He would tell the poor, however, for their government, that the shopkeepers who traded on . Sundays were the . grossest of all the impostors with whom they could come in contact. Alderman Cope land owned that there wore difficulties to be contended with in the matter of Sunday trading. lie was not for preVenting the poor from getting necessaries on Sunday morning, but ice wished that the trading ehduld cease • at nine o'clock. The report was agreed to. • 1 - ...O.: 'A: .
