EXTRAORDINARY EXHUMATION. On Saturday afternoon, a dense crowd was collected around the Duke of York public-house, which ferms• the junction of Shepherd -street and Union-street. Oxibrd-street, and from the eagerness of the spectators it was evident that some unusual incident had occurred. It seems that a brewer's horse had fallen into Mrs. Miller's cellar the evening before, from which, still hale and hearty, his owners were now preparing to hoist him up. This event, which it appears is unprecedented in the an nals of licensed victuallers, took place in the following man ner :—Ou Friday evening, the carter of Messrs. - Coombe and J)elafield brought some liquor to the Duke of Yolk, and then proceeded to draw the empty batrels out of the cellar in the usual way, by _fastening a rope to the house's traces and putting :a boldest attached to the other end of the rope within the bar rel. Several were brought. up, but as the horse was tugging at a cask of extraordinary magnitude, which met with sonic oppo sition in its ascent, the rope snapped, and the force of the "re action" ca rried .poor "Jack Rag" tail foremost into the cellar. As the de;cent was several feet, it was feared that the la or fel low was severely injured; but as soon as astonishment ar the -change of scene began to subside, he made the folks overhead amderstand that he had the full use of his faculties. Forthwith be knocked the necks off a dozen of sherry, and then stove in a hogshead of ale wills his hoof to which, as it flowed into ti na• tural basin in the cellar, he began to. help himself, and soon gave testimony of the good quality of the liquor, by snorting, meighing, and danci ng a b out t h e apartuient, emancipating more and, more of the precious liquors at every evolution. The jingling of the bottles and glasses below now gave poor Mrs. Miller more concerts for the safety of the stores than her new , customer. But it was no easy - matter to get "Jack " out of such good quarters. The pot-boys were ordered to go into the cellar by the back way, but the horse kept his tail so firmly against tfie door, that to open it was impossible. They could see hint well enough down the front aperture, and he could also see them; and by shtwing his teeth and shaking his hoof, he plainly gave them to under Lind what a mild be their reception if th e y ventured below. 'D i d b oys, therefore, dare not disturb hira. - They said they could very well manage a man in liquor, but that it would be more than their heads were worth to iuterrupt horse its the middle of a spree. To get him out of the cellar by the way he descended was impossible, unless Jack" first allowed them to put ropes around his body. In vain they endeavoured , to entice him forward for this purpose by bidding sieves of oats and pitchforks of hay at the trap-door. "Jack" thought that on this occasion the pleasures of eating were as nothing coin pared to the joys of drinking. At leng:h Mrs. Miller bethought her of a plan, and it could not but he a good one, for it is well known all over the parish that Mrs. glider is " as knowing little Doman as ever.served up entertainment to man or horse." Come," says she, " let us send the wittles down to him, and. we can surround him- with the ropes while he is a chewing.'' Forthwith hay, oats, barley, and, beans were showered down in greater abundance than ever regaled a horse at a manger.. " Jack" was well pleased with the hest p in of the compromise, but would not listen to the .second. The " wittles" seemed onk to give hint renewed relish fin: his " half-and-balf."• Hour' after hour of eating .and driti:ting followed, accompanied by smashing and clattering at tile end of every five minutes, until poor Mrs. Miller, seeing herself completely " done," gave way to despair, and it was only by main force that she was prevented from rushing, down into the cellar to stick " Jack' through and through with a pitchfork. But a horse, just like a man, is able to eat and drink un more than he can hold. Honest " Jack," at last, finding that he had not room fur another mouthful, sank down on the hay in a state of supreme beati tude, and was in a few minutes dreaming, probably about how good Mrs. Miller had been to him. Exactly next morning, ere Jack showed any sign of stirri ng , preparat i ons for hauling him out were commenced. An inclined plane was dug front the opposite side of the street to the floor of the cellar. A tri angle was erected over the passage from which suspended ropes, that were by the most gentle tickling and pushing front side to side, rolled around poor Jack's hotly, while he siill lay in the land of forgetfulness.. Alt being now prepared, which was not until noon, a strong body of porters and policemen were col lected, and the street and windows on all sides were filled with waggoners, carters, brewers, and licensed victuallers, anxious to witness the resurrection.. Jack was rudely roused fi tim his slumbers. At first he did not know where he was, hut as soon as the revolution in his head allowed him to.recollect, .he once more staggered towards the well, to have a " hair of the same hound that bit him." But all indulgence was now at end. The ropes were straightened, the men gave a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, and the horse was lifted half way up ; but few nines are equal to the load of good cheer Jack had then stowed within his rubs, front his neck down to his toil. The ropes broke, and, amidst the loudest cheers, on ce more J ac k fell hack into time cellar, and th e folks . at the other end fell in a heap on th e • pavement • The attempt was repeated two or three times with as as I ntle. ' suecess to the infinite arnnsentent of the spectators, who seeiteii, to prefer' that Jack should continue in his old quasters.. an increased complement of hands was put to the rope, a dnoTt'l allowance of beer was served, and the men, with a, tr etnentl i o l o i e s s 4 yo, heave ho," slowly elevated Jack out of thy cellar. belly was swelled to the size of a balloon, and was evidentl'v g reatto‘a lo a d f or hi m.

The inhabitants of the village of • Ilfchmond were thrown into the utmost state of consternation and alarm ye.erday morning, between II and 12 a,destru,:tive breaking out at th e extensive premises beltrng,ing to Mr. Janois Piggott, cabin e t-m a k er and upholsterer, George-street, Red 'Lion-street. The filmes were first perceived to burst forth from the large workshops in th e rear o f t h e h ouses i n George street, hich, being principally composed of light materials, and the wind blowing. all the time Irons the south-east rather fresh, the flames spread with fearful rapidity. Messengers were im mediately despatched on horseback to London for the assistance of the fire-engines and within a very short time intelligence of the. fire was thus conveyed to Waterloo-road, Bedfold-tobury, Wells•street, Oxfordsstreet, and other stations, whence engines immediately started, well horsed, and arrived at the spot at half-past twelve o'clock, with a powerful party of the brigade, under the personal direction of Mr. Breetwood, of the Louden Fire Establishment. In the interim ? the flames had made fear ful ravages, haviug Hot only destroyed the entire range of work shops and their valuable contents, but extended.to tne dwelling house of Mr. Piggott, and to the premises of a Air. George, ironmonger, and likewise communicated to the row of houses in lied Lion street. At one period the devouring element assumed an alarming aspect, and even threatened destruction to the entire village. At this period there were no less than ten or twelve engines throwing streams of water on the flames; and notwithstanding this hydraulic fOrCe, before the firemen suc ceeded in extinguishing the flames, malty hundreds of pounds worth of property was consumed. The cause of the fire is. at present unknown, but it was conjectured to have originated by the negligence of some workmen iu leaving a lighted candle in the workshops on Saturday night, and a spark falling on some shavings and igniting. Fortunately for Mr. Piggott, he is insured in the Phoenix Fire-office to the full extent of his loss. All his workshops and his dwelling house are destroyed. The premises of Mr, George, adjoining, are destroyed, and those of Messrs. Bolding, Cripps, Newman. Streatham, and several others, severely damaged —some of them nut insured.— Afurniuy h erald . _ COURT OF REQUESTS, LONDON —Mon))Ay C(itild a Sterne or a Mackenzie pay a visit to these dreary courts, a sod tale of human misery would. be unfolded. A whole pair of pannier full of /ions (solid pudding or two-inch bread and butter would look too ostentatious) would scarcely satisfy the cravings or appease the wants of the poor children, who, for lack of any one to take care of them at home, are dragged through the dark fog of a bitter cold morning, along with their thinly-clad mothers, to answer for pot-house scores! Upwards of forty cases were heard yesterday, where the amount sued for was for beer and gin. As cowardice generally accompanies depravity, the -poor wife is thrust forward try the husband to bear the brunt of the battle. It is sufficient upon t his dark side of the picture to say, that every case was dealt with as leniently as _possible. UNE of DAN.'S FOLLOWERS IN TROUBLE..—" The course of true love never did run smooth !"--The bard who wrote .for all times and all seasons, certainly never contemplated that Creina Fagan should summon Patrick Ragan before Mr. Commis swner Dubois, for Ils. 6d. money l ent, and the principal inter est of a pair - o F shirts, making altogether 19s. Creina Fagan told her case thus:— It's to marry me, yer Honors' Wartchip', that he tould me, au' he played the very piper with my hone heart and he won it—(laughter) —and in regard to that same thing, didn't I make hint a pair of shirts, and lent him Ile. fid., all hard money—a I: away from Ole hone ppekit i—ariri thin, the baste as he is, wid rue hone pair of shirts to his spaipeen back—(laughter) —he goes straight round about Ins and marries another—(laughter) —as ould and as bastely as Barney's yer Houur. (Laugh ter.) Mr. Commissioner—How long did he court you, Mrs. Creina Fagan Plaintiff—lvver since he tuck up wid O'Connell, your Wart chip. Commissioner—lndeed? What do you mean by "tuck up with O'Connell ?" Plain titi—Och, be attends all the big meetings—Regan is the dear boy to hollabalue, and in regard of that he wakes all our dead—(laughter). Commissioner—Really he looks a remarkably clever speci men of the "fine pisintry !" Now, Mr. Ragan, do you owe this woman the amount claimed ? Defendant—Now, by my soul and body, I don't. Commissioner—Swear him. Here Ragan in. eccortlance with the moral philosophy of Paler Dens was about to draw a long bill on his "mental reser vation box," but be was cut short by being ordered to take oath in the Roman Catholic form, at which Patrick appeared con sAerably chagrined. Commissioner--Now, Sif, did Criena Fagan make you two shirts, and lend you money out or her pocket ? Defendant—By the Powers, I can't say but she did; but she made me a prisint of it—(l aug h ter) — and its only an ould spite, bekase I got married, that she brou g ht me h ere. - Commissioner—lt seems you've sadly cheated tho poor wo man, and you must pay her.

Speak plainly, Sir, how d'ye get your living? where do you go, and who sends you ?—Divil a row is ther but its meeself that's in it,. and a gentleman, and a rale one, pays me, and he knows Dan. (Here Patrick gave a very knowing wink.) Amid considerable laughter Patrick, the patriot, was ordered to pay the amount sued for. As soon as he comprehended the latter fact he clenched his fist, and looking very much like a deceived bull dug at Mr. Dupuis, he jejaculated Onley let me catch you at Cork !".

TUE 'Fume IP Fr -I%—A method of preventing the ravages of the turnip fly has been adopted at Hampstead.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Vie Eiberpool g:tanbarb. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2% 1836. That any party or society of men in this kingdom, proverbial for its loyalty of feeling throughout all the nations of the earth, deeming themselves respectable, and calling themselves Englishmen, could have been found at this advanced period of our history —this age of liberality and of improved understanding —guilty of such ignorance of the common usages of our great society, such indecorum of sentiment at a public dinner, is suf ficient to attach to each and every individual present who could so compromise himself and his own character a mark of indelible disgrace that will stick by him for the remainder of his natural existence ; and as these amiable associates of reason have placed themselves in the pillory of public contempt, they May not feel surprise that we feel it a part of our duty, as loyal subjects devotedly at tached to the person and office of our gracious sovereign, to give them the full benefit of their own freely-sought debasement before the general body of their countrymen. If notoriety for their right valiant deed be the object they sought, notoriety sufficient shall they have, and fax and wide wherever our columns circulate. It was, and we repeat it without reserve or qualifica-_ on, an act of moral treason against the office as well as the person of the chief magistrate, wlio, by virtue of that office should stand exempt from party feeling and secure from the littleness of those shrug-of-the-shoulder gentlemen, and their paltry detraction, Why had not some one among them the moral courage, the Manhood to speak out, and in fair open argument openly state his - objections, if any, to the public course of the sovereign ; fur with his Majesty's private feelings us a man. and an English gentleman, no one can have a right. to inter fere, and much less to attribute to him unworthy motives. in the ex ecu ti on o f an onerous state duty, under the special advice of his responsible advisers ? The consti tutional maxim that " the • King 'can do no wrong," is evidently lost upon those men of Baal, and they have started a new principle, founded upon the theory of pre sumed personal responsibility, and thus ignorantly per verted' that, which iS one of the best safeguards of con stituted freedOm under a mixed monarchy and free in stitutions. Poor souls, these neWly.created Jeg,islatOrs; they have yet to go to school to learn the first prinCiples o: that government under which they have the vanity— the presumption—like our own sapient town councillors to legislate for their fellow-citizens. It were folly in deed, to suffer tamely the humiliations to which persOns so palpably ignorant of the essential usages of our hitherto well-regulated society would subject us. The act of flagrant disloyalty towards him, who, how ever illustrious in station is but legally under his high estate the chief trustee of our constitutional compact, and always held irresponsible for his public acts, is but the prelude to that indignity or possibly that personal outrage which would be offered Min but for the protec tion of the laws! But we maintain that even personally William the Fourth, is the last to be marked out for a uthlic act of reprobation ; and that too by a set of his disorderly pro-popish or pro-radical, or rather pro-re publican subjects. A more patriotic monarch never sat upon the throne of these realms ; and did we not know this to be an incontrovertible truth, no inducement of favour or of patronage would allow us to compromise our own lionoutr—our personal credit with those amongst whom We have hitherto lived and 'moved, and been held in esteem by declaring it. 1. , it because his Majesty has shown a conscientious respect for his oath, as the oath of a Protestant King, bound to uphold the integrity o f th e reformed church in Englard—the tenni e by which he holds his crown, under what we declare, to have been a dignified manifestation of personal feeling against the gross insult which has been offered it by a hireling men dicant agitator, and his yet more debased vassals, that these tribunitial instigators of treasonable democracy-_. of infidel depravity or papal bigotry, have singled out him, as the mark of their toadlike denunciation ? The noblemen and gentlemen of East Worcestershir e , Amongst whom we have sorneStaun c h friends, have formed a proper estimate of this pitiful affair, and it is but justly complimentary to them that we should, in the columns of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, re-echo their noble senti ments—promulgate the moral castigation . they haVe in flicted-On the parties who have thus lowered themselves in the scale of human' credit. Cowards - at 'heart, but tyrants in 'principle, such creatures shriek front the re.- The unmanly—the unchristian indignity recently of fered to our protestant King and his amiable consort by a few self-degrjtded beings in a certain provincial city, hitherto proverbial for its propriety and its loyalty, and whom we can hardly honour with the name of men, and far less gentlemen, has met its severe rebuke in the splendid meeting at Droitwich on Friday last. The rank and the respectability of East Worcester shire, under the presidency of Mr. Packington, have visited with a signal retribution the meanly contemptible insult which could in a public assembly receive the toasted health of our revered monarch in silence! Proh pudor! Where is the honour—the blood—the pride— the English feeling that will not rise up with becoming indignation, and brand with the finger of scorn the petty malignity dr the insatiable malevolence that could so madly undervalue our national character? Are these men—madmen we would rather ray- , --dead tO the rules of ethical decorum, or entirely lOst - to the influence of shame or the dictates of common decency ? Must we, in imitation of Diogenes, in the broad face of day, in cultivated Britain, and in the nineteenth century of the christian era, illuminate their faces before their fellow men, and seek for their honesty amidst the rabble rout of their Bacchanalian revel ? Are they so ignorant as not to know that a King of England, by the very pecu liarity of his station, is not the fair mark for their pitiful revenge, or their still more despicable contumely ? Are they, drunk as they are, in their radical coxcombry, vain enough to think that they can reduce this fair—this beautiful—this, generally speaking, intellectual country to the barbarism of degenerate Greece in the day of her frenzied democracy, that they may glut their depraved appetites, and gloat upon their feast of hoprd-for spolia tion in the issue? Yes, it really does appear that these bloated enthusiasts for liberality of opinion —these boast ing sticklers for liberty of conscience—thes e improved, reformed, regenerate councillors-- . -patron's of -freedom and paragons of justice—of " equal justice," of " cheap: law," and "good governMent," branded their own jaco binical foreheads with the indelible stigma of cowardly treasonable disloyally, aye, cowardly treasonable dis loyalty ! We are prepared to put a justification on the record before the supreme court of the British nation for the terms here used, and their correct application too. It matters not to us whether-we convict' them of moral or actual treason; the one is the act of cowardice, the other of open or even noble daring, which, right or wrong, jastifies the deed at the peril of consequences; the other constitutes the deed in intention, hurt meanly shrinks from the responsibility. And this is the case of the worthies before us, of , :whose conduct a bold and just cognizance has been taken. sponsibility of law, and avoid the penalties of preinunue by a dastardly subterfuge; but they are - as morally 're sponsible to GLid 'and to their country as though they had, in the eye of the law, performed an act of veriest treason against the majesty of the throne, always held sacred. We Will nut enlarge Much upon this disgirStin,Ysubject . ; nor pollute our ink further with the self-degradation in which these heroes of liberal rule—these twigs of easy virtue have placed themselves, as the living records of their own shame, before a loyal and offended nation. Their jaco binical attempt to lessen the popularity of him, who has been the theuoe of our rejoicing, as identified with our holy cause, is like the " whisper of another faction," now pressing as an incubus on the vitals of the state, but which we are preparing to throw off by every honourable and every moral means within our power, and the thun dering echo of ".Church and King," sent forth by twice eight thousand voices from our constititutional borough will silence the croaking of these worthless frogs, who are only fit to be dev ouredby the stork, or swallowed by the kites and ravens of their own creation. To Mr. Pa kington and his independent band of conservative allies in Worcestershire, every commendation is due for their having so boldly .separated themselves from the branny offal of social disorganization—the democratical misrule. attempted to be set up so near them ; and that its advo cates, as long as they possess a local habitation or a name, may be avoided as common pests, by the wortl4y and the good; and the contamination of their disloyalty exposed to their own families, neighbours, and friends. We ,re, gret the impossibility of dilating upon the excellent speeches delivered by Lord Redesdale, by Mr. Packing ton, Major Bond, and other gentlemen belonging to the county; but the grand marob of conservatism has rushed forward so strongly spun us, that we can now only assure them of our warm and cordial reciprocity of intitresc.und bid them God's speed ! The triumphant exposition of popery which has taken place at Hereford, before an orthodox and learned body, and before an assemb-!y of educated and intelligent minds, competent to form a correct estimate of its ini quity, is conclusiVe. All the refined sophistry—all the deep toned jesuitry—all the crafty subterfuge of Dr. Dens Murray,, improved upon as they have been by the finishing counsel of the holy Father himself, in his pa ternal love fur his Irish subjects, have crumbled into dust ! , Let the speeches delivered at Hereford be placed in juxta-position with Dr. Murray's recently published pastoral letter, and let every man capable of exercising the powers of ratiocination—of thought—of reflection, and divested as much as possible of religious prejudice, on the score of 'religious feeling, form his own judgment of the religion of Dr. Murray, supported by his admitted protege, Peter Dens, compared with the religion of the reformed Protestant Church of England, built upon the unmutilated . gospels of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and we dread not the result. Popery has its fair as well as its dark side, a fact which is known to every man who has properly become acquainted with its system of refined mystification. A more richly illustra tive speciMen of the truth and justice of this assertion could not Well be adduced, than that furnished by Dr. Murray, in his pastoral letter; it' is . altogeth er one o f the most plau s ibl e an d art f u ll y written compositions we have have ready well calculated to disarm the prejudices of ,superficial thinkers or readers, and like Challmer's " Garden of the Lord, - to make yomanism appear mild, meek, tolerant, and fair to the eye---in fact the persecuted instead of the persecuting church ; but the veil is too flimsy, and erelong we purpose tearing it to pieces. With regard to Protestantism, and its happy progress amongst 'ourselves, our columns bear sufficient witness, that the assaults of its enemies have but redoubled the exertions—aroused the honest zeal ()Nis friends; and it were easy for us to dilate upon the last week's scene, and fill the whole of our space with a commentary upon the two events which have drawn the .attention of the whole kingdom to our patriotic town, and which will henceforth, and without any reservation, stand forward as CONSTITUTIONAL LIVERPOOL ; but we must claim the indulgence of our readers, and wait for time and space, to do further justice to the late splendid gatherings; whilst we will not entirely neglect the interesting mat ters pressed on our attention, by our distant friends, for whose warm interest and accumulating correspondence we feel particularly grateful. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—On Tuesday next the different wards will be called upon to fill up the vacancies occasioned by the retirement of sixteen of the town councillors and the death of another. We need not urge upon our readers the notorious fact that the tyrant majority, which has introduced such fearful changes into our system of municipal government, is no credit to the town. Every one, possessed of a grain of common sense, considers our, Aown council, as at present constituted, to be a stigma upon the Name of Liverpool —a nuisance of a more disgusting nature, and of a more formidable cha racter, than any about which they have been recently legislating at the council-board. We repeat, it is is a nuisance which must positively be abated. The people of Liverpool must not 'rest 'satisfied until they have completely purged the Town-hall of all the radical leaven which is now - deposited there. This, however, will be no very easy task. These radical locusts will cling with the utmost tenacity of grasp to the sweets of office. They will never yield until compelled to do so by an irresistible popular movement. But they must give way before the spirit which they ha':e themselves aroused in Liverpool by their unreasonable proceedings. Out they must go—we must give them no quarter —we must allow them no further oppCrtunities for working mischief—they must no longer be permitted to outrage the feelings of this protestant_comniunity. Protestants of Liverpool ! be careful in withholding your votes'from men who are prepared to convert your scriptural Schools into nurseries of popery. Whether episcopalianos or dissenters, if you value the word of God as the securest basis on which a system of education for the poor can be built, we fervently urge you to require a pled g e from the candidate that clainis'your suffrages, that Ire will strenuously exert himself to accomplish the re-in troduction of the Bible into the corporation schools. 'Be contented with nothing short of this. Our radical con temporaries complain that we are not sufficiently explicit in speciiying wh:at alterations we wish to be made in the policy of the town-council. Let us be understood, then, when we say that the corporation schools must be rescued from their present management. They must not be given up to the control of the popish priests. The great charter of our salvation must be opened before the pupils, with out reserve—without mutilathn. The poor infants who are provided, by the munificent bounty of this opulent town, with gratuitous instruction in these schools, must be permitted to raise their voices•in the accents of prayer and praise to their Maker at the comthenceinent and the close of their daily avocations. Habits of early piety Must be inculcated, and correct views of the sublime verities of the christian religion must be imparted. Public mo rality,--reverence for truth—and an absorbing anxiety for the welfare of immortal souls, imperatively demand that the schools should be' once more placed under the unfettered control of orthodox ministers of the gospel W e call upon our townsmen to unite fur the contsumma. lion of this object—so praiseworthy in itself—so honour able to the christian feeling of the people of Liverpool— and so materially affecting the eternal destinies of thou sands of our population. Three years will suffice for in fusing patriotism enough into the council to overrule the nefarious projects of its destructive majority. Let the conservatives of Liverpool bear this in mind—three years from the date of the last election will enable them to obtain a practicable majority in the town Council; We may, in the natural course of things, anticipate eighteen or twenty vacancies annually, and at the expiration of the third year eight of the aldermen will have to resign those honotirs to which they have so few pretensions. Thus a number of vacancies equal to the whole batch of radicals who were promoted last December will occur in the course of three years; and will not our conservative ft iends endeavour to profit by this circumstance ? Wiil not the reaction, now so undeniably i n p rogress, cause a decided preponderance of cons4rv a ti ve can di dates to be elected each successive year—sufficient, in the aggre- at• - gate, to outnumber their opponents . ? Tuesday next will furnish'an'answer to this question. We liear the most favourable accounts from all the wards ; but let not ou r friends be over confident of susses:;—let them not rest upon their oars—let them continue with unabated zeal and energy in the prosecution of their plans. We have hitherto abstained from publishing any list of the candidates for the respective wards; but now that the lists have been filled up on bOth sides, we are the better prepared to enter upon their examination. We candidly acknowledge that it would have been far more consonant to our feelings to have abstained from any animadversion upon the pretensions of some of the radi cal candidates. There are among them many respectable individuals—several churchmen —and a few of whom we had fondly hoped better things. But while they consent to have their names linked with papists and unitarians— while they consent to act in concert with avowed repub licans in politics and sceptics in religion—while they condescend to pledge themselves to a line of policy which we are compelled to condemn as destructive to all 'the venerated institutions of our native land, as well as ma nifestly injurious to our local interests—while they thus degrade themselves, they must not expect any exemption from our criticism: 'Our opposition to the present town council and their proceedings is one of principle. Per. sonally we respect many of their number who are opposed to us in politics; but there are many of them who have rendered themselves extremely disagreeable by their ha bitual petulance; whilst there are others whom we value just as highly as we would Daniel O'Connell. The following are the candidates, whom we shall de scribe currente calamo as we go through the different wards in rotation :- 1. Everton end Kirkdale Ward. Mr. Chas. Hotsfall goes out, and declines standing again. The present can didates are Mr. James Heywort3i, on the conservative interest;and Mr. George Quayle, on the radical. The former we know to be a gentleman of great abilities— possessed of every qualification ftir the office—and a sound protestant. But who is Mr. George Quayle ? Ii we may be excused a pun, we "sincerely hope he will quail before his antagonist. 2., Scotland Ward. Mr. Richard Shiel retires, and stands again - on the radical side. Opposed to him we have Mr. Richard Houghton, a gentleman sprung from one of the oldest and most respectable families in Liver pool—a kind landlord—a most benevolent neighbour, to whom the poor in the district are under numberless obli gations —a resident in the ward on his own property, which is very considerable—and also a true churchman. And who is Mr. Shiel ?—an Irish importation of concei', arrogance, and mock patriotism. Eleotors of Scotland ward ! do, by all means, choose your estimable neigh bour, and place )4r. Mahogany Shiel upon the shelf. 3. Vauxhall Ward. Mr. J. D. Tliornley retires; and Mr. William Shand, a good protestant, is proposed by the conservatives, and Mr. James Muspratt, the owner of one of the greatest nuisances in town, stands on the radical side. We greatly admire this gentleman's modesty in aspiring for the office of a local legislator, in which capacity he would be called upon to give his sanc tion to laws which are expressly framed for abating and abolishing nuisances. We hope this pragmatical re former's blustering pretensions will end like his long chimney —in smoke. • 4. St. Paul's. Mr. John Barton stands again on the conservative interest, and there is very little doubt of his return. He has always voted consistently since his in troduction to the council-chamber; and merits a conti nued expreSsion of confidence from the electors of the ward. He is opposed by Mr. Stitt, of the firm of 4cra man and Stitt, of whom we know—nothing. He is, of course, an untried man—Mr. Barton has been tried, and has not been fOund wanting. 5. Exchange Ward. Mr. Thomas Sands is brought forward in this ward on the conservative interest. He is well known in town as a respectable merchant, and a leading member of that loyal body—the Wesleyan methodists. We are sure that every true church Man and every consistent dissenter in the ward will give him a vote, if he happens to be an elector. His known libe rality of sentiment must necessarily render him popular. His principles are strictly conservative, which those of his opponent, Mr. James Mellor, are not. He has uniformly voted on the radical side while in'council— that is his condemnation. 6. Castle-street Ward. Mr. Thomas Grindstone Bolton stands again on the radical interest. We must by all means get rid of this gentleman, who has rendered himself so very conspicuous as the enemy of the esta blished church. So inveterate has been his spleen against the church; that he has, Quixote-like, proclaimed war against the organ-blowers, sextons, and music books. He cannot be better. superseded than by Mr. John Wilkinson, the vice-president of the tradesmen's conservative association, who sustains one of the most honourable Characters which can grace an'Englishman— that of an honest, straightforward, loyal tradesman. The electors of this ward can have no hesitation in making their choice. 7. St. Peter's. Mr. Nathan. Litherland, of the old and respectable firm of Heyes and Litherland, stands on the conservative interest. Those whoknoW Mr. Lith er l an d appreciate th e h a ppy un i on i n his person of the perfect gentleman—the kind friend—the true patriot—and the strict rectitude of the British merchant. He is opposed by Mr. Bright, who stands again. . Mr. Blight has voted with the radical tail—his further services must therefore be declined. 8. Pitt-street Ward. Mr. R. W. Preston, another of the radical tail, claims a renewal of theit'itiffrakes frOM the electors of this ward: We are . ltapPy to hear, how ever, that Mr. John Bibby is to displace him. Mm. Bibby is too well known as . a respect a bl e m ercha nt and a strenu ous supporter of the constitution to need any further remark. • 9. Great George's Ward. Our highly-esteemed • townsman Mr. Charles Lawrence stands for this ward, with every prospect of success. He is opposed by Mr. Henry Ripley. 10. Rodney -street Ward. Mr. John Nelson Wood, one of the present auditors of the borough, and an un flinching conservative, is Opposed by. Mr. Thomas Holt, the radical representative. The latter gentleman must be laid aside 7 --like a .broken teapot. 11. Abercromby Ward. This ward will be contested by Mr. Thomas Brocklebank, «ho has condemned him self by his votes in the council, and Mr. Thomas Kaye, of the Liverpool Courier, an old and truly respectable tradesman. We bear that his canvass has been very successful. If elected, theehoice will reflect honour upon the ward. 12: Lime-street Ward. Mr. Ambrose Lace, a gentle man universally known, and respected by all parties, stands on the conservative interest, and is opposed by a Mr. Vincent Scroggins, Muggins, Higgins, or some such outlandish name, of whom we have never heard before. 13. St. Ann's Ward. Mr. John Naylor Wright—than whom no ban in Liverpool is more entitled to a seat in the town 'council—is here opposed by a Mr. Mason. Who is he ? and what are his pretensions ? 14. West Derby Ward. Mr. John Smith, conserva tive, is here opposed by Mr. R. W. Wood, radical. 15. South Toxteth Ward. There are two vacancies here—one occasioned by the death of Mr. Sharpies. The conservative candidates are Mr. Thomas Murray Glad stone, and Mr. Alexander Smith, son of Mr. Smith, of Fulwood. The radical candidates are Mr. Francis Jor dan, and Mr. Jonathan Platt. 16. North l'oxteth Ward. Mr. John Sheppard is sup ported by the conservatives. His address proves him to be a man of correct political principles, and of cultivated mind. His opponent is Mr. George Ramsden. Now, let us again urge the merchants, the 'tradesmen, the publicans—and, in short, / every class of our tow•ns men, to.unite in one strong and vigorous effOrt for :the expulsion of the radical faction from the town council. Up, and at them, like men ! . . CORONER'S INQUEST.—An inquest was held on Wednesday, before I'. F.

The court benteuced him to seven yeah' transpor tation. - Arthur Gore was charged with having stolen a watch, the pro perty of Lewis Wootf Levien, one watch the property of Wm. John Burgess, and one wateh the property of Lesser 13utch It appeared that the habit of the prisoner had been to g,o to the shops of different watchmakers and request to loek at some par ticular watch which he pointed out in the window. While he pre tended to be deeply engaged iu the examination of the watch, a colleague 'of his would enter and occupy the attention of the proprietor in searching for certain small articles from the win dow, which he would point out.

The charges were fully made out, and the jury found the pri soner guilty ou all of them: The learned teuordcr passed sen tence of transportation fur seven years. • ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON. Sarah Eccleston was indicted for having feloniously stolen one purse, containing 16 sovereigns, from the person of Maurice. Jones. The prosecutor, it appears, was a stranger in Liver pool. Ile was imprudent enough to accompany the prisoner to a house of ill fame, where she robbed him' of his purse and the sum of money above-nieutioned. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the court sentenced her to imprisonment for• twelve calendar months. • ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON. William Price was indicted for having stolen a silver watch, the prop e rty o f John 'Kelly, from hi s person.

After some time a policeman aroused him and 'he went away, but he went to an old building and ag ain fell asl ee p. Wh en h e - awo k e; he. found that he had been, by some means or other;•deprived of his watch. He gave immediate information to the police of the circumstance. : The prisoner stated in• his defence that he had found the watch in the street about a fortnight . before he pawn e d i t. T he jury found hi m guilty. Thnprisoner stated that he had been em ployed by Mr. Samuel Holiee, whom he doubted not would give him a good. character. The learned recorder said that even if his story were true that he had found the watch, yet he had acted with dishonesty, as he had appropriated it to his own use. He should give him an opportunity Of brining the testi mony of Mr. Holme before he disposed of him. At six o'clock the pm isoner was again brought up. Mr. Holme did not make his appearance, but a witness who had known the prisoner in Mr. 11°41:le's service gave hint a general good character. As he had already' been imprisoned for a month, t'he recorder passed sentence that he should be imprisoned for one month longer. STREET ROBBERY. George Meredith, a genteel-looking young man, was chaved with having stolen fourteen shillings, the property of Ellis Fern worth, from the person of Jane Farnworth, his aife; Mrs. Farnworth gave testimony that on the night of the fancy ball she stood with her husbanu amongst The crowd at the top of Water-street looking at the parties who were entering the Town-halt - on that occasion.

He instantly withdrew it and darted of The attention of her hus band had been attracted, and he pursued the prisoner, whom he overtook in the Goree without having lost sight of him. The money was found in his possession. It appeared that the pri soner borea very bad character, having been frequently before in custody. The prisoner begged for mercy on account of his father, whose heart, he said, would be broken if he were sent out of the country.

On the' follows ing morning, Mr. M'Keown found that his shop had been brokeu into, and the money abovementioned stolen.

EXCENSIVE FORGERY ON THE BANK OF IRELAND.—Geowe Jackson, a middle aged man, was charged on three' indictments charging him with forging thirty shilling notes of the bank Of Ireland. The first indictment was for using two plates, on one of which was engraved a certain part of a promissory note, pur porting to be a promissory note of the governor and company of the bank of Ireland, and on the other of which was engraved - a promissory note of the said'governor and company. , The in dictment further alleged, that he used the said plates by deliver ing them to one Edward Thompson, to the intent that he night print them as part of such promissory notes. The other counts laid the offence in different ways. M LD conducted the prosecution, and Mr.VENA BEES. appeared for the defence. • . Edward Thompson deposed that he was a copper plate printer, working at No. 8, Goree Piazzas.' About a month since the prisoner called upon him at his shop, and repeated his visits on six different days, coming twice a-day on some occasions. When the priSorier first came to witness, he brought nothing with him, but asked if he would work for him for over time. • He afterwards brought' two plates for witness to work. (The plates were here preduced and indentified.) The prisoner then produced an agreement wrote out on a piece of paper which witness signeu. The prisoner retained the agreement in his possession, and pro duced a bible, upon which the witness was to swear that be would nut divulge the nature of the work to any man living. Witness refused to swear. It was then agreed that w it ness should p ro d uce 550 i mpressions from the two plates. This oc curred on the third day. Prisoner did not leave the his i n possessi on o f w i tness, b ut merely tpok them out of his pocket and shea ed theta to witness. He brought the plates on th e second day, w h en wi t ness said he must have an impressi o n from one of them, so as to be able to print the others exact. This was On Saturday evening about 6 o'clock. He (witness) then got a plate and struck et? an impression in the presence of the pri saner. The prisoner came to witne ss aga i n on Monday, bring ing with him the plates, and 'about 200 piecesuf paper to print the notes upon. Witness then struck off three impressions, of which the prisoner took up two and the witness kept a third. On Tuesday the prisoner again called, when witness informed him he could not print any more that (lay. On Wednesday he was again importuned by prisoner to print the notes, but witness made an excuse that he was going to Cheshire, and put th e pri soner off until 12 o ' c l oc k, a t w hi c h hour he again called, bring ing with him both the plates. Witness then struck off twelve impressions in the prisoner's presence, and he put them one by . one into his hat. Witness Eknd . the prisoner then went oat to gether, and were walking altng, Brunswick-street, when Ains worth the officer came and took the prisoner into custody. Ains worth tote open the prisoner's waistcoat, and took the plates from him. [ The witness pioduced thenote he had detained. It was evidently a beautifully executed forgery. Theillates were said to have been engraved in Frauce.] On being cross-examined, he said he had lived two years in Liverpool, before that he worked in Edinburgh. •He had not been en aged there as a nose in the police. Witness wrote to the bank of Irelasid, and informed them of the application the prisoner had made to him. Witness read the inscription on the plate. .He conk(' not see the word " not" between those " I promise" and " to pay." ' There was sonsething, but it was so small as nut to be discernable with . the naked eve on . the plate. - - James Ainsworth, a constable, deposed to his having taken the prisoner into custody on Wednesday the '6th instant, at a quarter past one o'clock in the day. Witness found the two plates produced upon hiM. ,Prisoner said they were Rot his property, but belonged to another individual. At the Bride well he found twelve copies of Irish thirty-thilling notes on the prisoner. • • Cross-examined. —The prisoner did not tell witness , that the plates belonged to a coMpany of players at Mancheiter.
