GENTLEMEN, THE probable time for the Dissolution of the present Parliament is now so near at hand, that I venture to re quest your permission to address you. I have been honoured by a Requisition inviting me, on the retirement of Lord SANDON, to become a CANDIDATE for your Suffrages. It is signed by names which we have always regarded as affording a satisfactory guarantee for a general concurrence of sentiments among our fellow-townsmen; and I accept with pride and pleasure the distinguished invitation it conveys. I cannot hope that any abilities of mine will enable me to supply the irreparable loss you have sustained. But I have enjoyed intimate opportunities of observing the assiduity and ' attention with which your present members have discharged the duties of your trust; and I have the advantage of knowing, by long acquaintance, your general and local interests. lam sincerely attached on every ground—by birth, —by educa tion,—and by chcita—`o the Pritestant Cl urch established in these dominions. I believe her to be the most valuable safe guard of our Civil and Religious Liberties. A respectful consideration for the rights, the interests, and the wishes of those who do not conform to her communion, naturally flows from a regard to her constitution, and an observance of her teaching. A painful interest has been felt by many estimable men with respect to a plan supposed to he in prospect for the endon ment of the Priests in Ireland. I do not believe that any project of that kind is wished for by themselves, or is seriously entertained in any quarter. Ido not approve, and do not intend to sup port it. I voted for the grant proposed by her Majesty's Government fi r he general education of the people. I thought it was cal culated to extend the advantages of secular knowledge, and the inestimable blessings of religious training. I acquiesced in the general measures adopted by the Execu tive for the temporary relief of urgent distress in Ireland, — I cordially smpirted the enactments by which the right of the destitute to maintenance from the property of their own neigh bourhood is recognized and enforced. Upon the important questions of commercial legislation, which have so largely occupied the attention of the expiring Parliament, I need not trouble you at any length. In former times, the most illustrious advocates of commercial freedom have been the representatives of Liverpool. The Policy of 'gradually relaxing prohibitory and restrictive imposts, with a due regard to the Revenue and a considerate reference to established interests, has had your general sup port. The result has been eminently satisfactory in the deCrease of burdens, the improvement of the Revenge, the extension of commercial intercourse, and the diminution of the Public Debt.—Of these advantages Liverpool has enjoyed an ample share, and has attained in amount of tonnage the 'first position among the Ports of Etigland. It is particularly gratifying to observe that this has been chiefly .occasioned by the increase of British shipping.: contributing to•the advance ment of domestic interests, and to the maintenance of our Maritime power. I will support no change in the Navigation Laws, calculated to interfere with the growing prosperity of the shipping and commercial interests. To preserve the honoured institutions of the country, and to promote the general welfare by judicious adaptations of the law to the varying requirements of a great and improving People—these are the objects with which the name of Liver pool has been associated in former years. To these objects, if I shall be honoured by your choice, I promise to devote myself with firmness, 'fidelity, and diligence, and have the honour to he, -Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble Servant, EDWARD CARDWELL, Whitehall Gardens. }eth July, 1847.

TO THE FREE BURGESSES AND THE PAF.IIA 111ENTARY ELECTORS OF LIVERPOOL. GENTLEMEN, TN accordance with the wishes of a large body of the j_ Electors of your Borough, I beg to oiler myself as a CAN DIDATE for the honour of renresentinz 1 - ou in the ensuing. Parliament. If it be usual for an old Representative to lay before you his sentiments on some of the leading questions of general policy, it becomes an imperative duty on a new and untried Candidate to do so. The first point, and one which, I understand, is exciting a great and general interest in your town, is that of the endow ment of the Romish clergy. Upon this, as upon every other subject, I desire to give you my honest opinion. It is a ques tion on which many great and good men ma y diff er . It is one, however, upon which I can never swerve from the principles which have guided my conduct through life. What is in itself wrong can never be justified by expediency; and the endow ment of the Church of Ro me wou ld , I consider, be treason to to Protestantism. The spirit of Protestantism breathes liberty, order, protection to life and property, and toleration to all. The spirit of Romanism, to use the words of Lord Arundel and Surrey (himself a Romanist), is antagonistic to Protestantism. These sentiments may be called " bigotry ;" they are, however, the source of all freedom. Were these principles implied to the government of Ireland, and applied fairly, firmly, and vet kindly, I believe they would offer.a near solution to the most difficult problem of the British Government. The neat subject, to which my attention has been called, is that of the Navigation Laws. The shipping interests of Eng land are;interwoven with all her past and present glories. I desire to see her Navigation Laws, which have long been the admiration •of foreigners as well as of ourselves, maintained in their full integrity: and the necessity must be very imperative, or the advantages clear and decisive, which could justify any tampering with this time-honoured system of maritime law. On the monetary systems, various and opposed as they are, I would desire to learn the opinions of this large and enlight ened community, (founded, as those opinions must be, on great commercial experience,) rather than to propound my own ; and I can only assure you, that should I have the honour of becoming your Representative, should give to those opi nions all th consideration to which they are justly entitled; and should I draw from them an erroneous conclusion, I can only say that, though erroneous, it will be an honest one. The repeal of the Corn Laws is become the law of the land. I was opposed to it ; but should deprecate any intermeddling with ; at law until considerable experience of its effects shall have tested its bearing and value. I should desire Free Trade with all nations, who will reciprocate its advantages with us; subject of course to such modifications as may be requisite to maintain the fiscal integrity of the state. Having thus, Gentlemen, laid before clearly, as I hope, my views on the protection of our national Protestantism, as essential to real liberty and good govcrament—on the mainte nance of our Navieratlonanl ,on the conditional code—on ctlieiriettal benefit p i e l, alof itl ot. e Corn Laws ; ' , o s c a a i settled Fee rra ' questionde—' ;_ have only to add ; th a t, if jAwuglit into Parliament by your suffrages, it will be my eade,Tfoffr to pro mote your local interests, and to attend carefully to the public and private business, which so vast a conimexciai town as Liv eirtphoothl remain youF fditbnil and obedient Serv an t. PIGBY MACKWORTIL l e must originate. Gentlemen, June 28/h, 1817. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL. GENTLEMEN, IHAVE have had the honour of receiving a commu nication inviting me to become a CANDIDATE at the ap proaching General 'Election, for one of the vacancies created oy the resignation of your present Members. In accepting this invitation, I feel most sensibly that I aspire at once to nearly the highest and most honourable distinction in public life ; for such an one I hold to be the representation, in Parliament of a constituency so important as that of Liver pool,ealth. is tsa a hun i ) i c}: t ici t ta,: i vas t l s s:to: w hcst proposal —one pct o oh n saa e : e inoiniiee rejoiced, peculiarly i n upon l 3g t . a or t ua e -r , as well by its numbers and intelligence, as by its industry n upon eive flattering seo the t e time i b i v t i f l ei a c a r l l y t s e t ention had already been devoted, with own account, at the selection ; but as I have been thought Wor tifying, as opening to me a prospect of representing my native town, I accept the offer, i n th e h ope that I may, by a zealo us and independent discharge of my duties in Parliament, and an unremitting attention to your interests, justify, in some degree, the compliMent that has been paid to me. My opinions, I trust, are well known to you to be those which have long guided the supporters of aliberal spirit of legislation; nevertheless, on some questions, which are at the present mo ment of peculiar interest, a more particular explanation will be naturally expected from me. Although, by.the enlightened policy of the present Parlia ment, duties and restrictions have been removed from the leading articles of consumption, and the statute book now re cords the triumph of the principles of commercial freedom, diligence and attention will still be necessary to secure to the people the full benefit of these important changes, and constant exertion will be required to obtain for them the advantage of still further progress. Should I have the honour of becoming your Representative, I shall be proud of the opportunity, through you, of contending for the practical extension of the principles thus already ad mitted, to every article of use, comfort, or convenience, and of giving my best assistance to the completion of a tariff, the operation of which would not only contribute to our pro s perity at home, but, by the enlargement of our transactions with fo reign countries, strengthen the feeling of mutual dependence, and secure to us the inestimable blessings of peace. Whilst actively engagea in urging forward these improve ments in our commercial code, as calculated to foster the industry, add to the comforts, and advance the prosperity of the Country-, I should always take the deepest interest m those measures which, by diffusing . instruction, and raising the peo ple generally in the scale of civilization, would have an e qua ll y direct and even a more powerful tendency to promote their permanent welfare and happiness. Strongly impressed with this feeling, I shall be happy to be found associated with you, and I join in th e general in assisting to establish the most ef f icient system of moral, intellectual, and religious education. I know anti a dmire the cheerfulness with which . you are bearing the severe pressure upon your industry, occasi one d b y the measures taken for the relief and for the im provement of the people of that coitutry; but should the enact ments now passing through Parliament be found insufficient to a th p e pr l o at v e al fe o a f rful calamity in Ireland, protect this country, and particularly you, against the recur rence of the unjust burdens under which you are at pi esent suffering, I should think no efforts too great to secure such alterations and amendments as may do justice to your interests. I should also cordially support all future measures calculated to encourage in Ireland a love of good order, a spirit of indus try, and a feeling of self-reliance. I have no personal objects to serve, nor any feeling of ambi tion to indulge, that would not be fully gratified by the distinc tion of being your Representative. My freedom from all other engagements would enable me to devote my time and attention Fid, almost entirely, to Your Parliamentary an d L ocal Int eres t s , for any exertion I might to make, Ishould and ample recompense in the belief that be called on had obtained your confi- - dente.

TO THE ELECTORS AND FREE BURGESSES OF LIVERPOOL. GENTLEMEN, IN acceding to the request which has been made by some influential members of your body that I should lay before you, in an address, the main principles which guide my political conduct, I cannot but pay a just and hearty tribute to the worth and ability of those representatives of whose services you are about to be deprived. It would argue great presump tion in me were I to hold out an expectation that the know ledge and devotion with which Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas have discharged their functions, as your representa tives, would be displayed by me. I shrink at once from any such comparison. But, should you be pleased to confer that honourable.office upon me, I will, according to my powers, faithfully fulfil its duties. . . _ So many ,And so various are the subjects of debate which, either at the present moment do, or in the future Parliament will, interest the Constituencies and Legislature of the Empire, that it is almost impossible in an Address to do more than ex press, in:general terms, the principles on which a Candidate acts. Mine require no elaborate definition. In religion lam a Churchman, in politics a Tory. You, gentlemen, need not be reminded that the cry which would associate intolerance with the one and incapacity with the other, is as unfounded as it ,is illiberal. is to the Tory constituency of Mr. Canning and Mr. Husithson that I address myse?f. As a Churchman, then, the integrity, independence, and increased efficiency of the Church—as a Tory, the maintenance of an historic Monarchy, the consolidation of a mighty empire, and the happiness of a noble people—are the objects, both in public and in private life, I humbly endeavour to subserve. The various members of that empire appear to me suscepti ble of a closer alliance. The social and moral condition of that people admits and demands amelioration. To a Statesman's eye the Colonies of England must present afield for careful and paternal legislation, and every measure that can guard and promotethe welfare of our Colonies, and stimulate their com merce, will receive my active support. It has been truly said, that England and her colonies can form a Zolverein which shall eclipse that confederation whose pretensions now perplex our merchants and our Ministers. But the Tariff which regulates our commerce requires a ge neral revision. The recent changes that have been made in it do but point out, and in some measure increase, its anomalies and inconsistencies. Why some foreign productions which enter into competition with our own are to be admitted at a nominaltluty, while Ten, so important an article of consump tion to our people, is charged with a duty equivalent to 200 per cent., and Tobacco with one equal to GOO per cent., baffles ail explanation. Nor can any cause be shown why some of our native productions and manufactures should be subjected to vexatious restrictions and exorbitant taxes in order to permit a partial system of free imports from other countries. Allow me to sum up my opinions on these subjects in the words of a letter I had recently the honour of addressing to some gen tlemen of Liverpool :—" With respect to the future commercial policy of Lie country, I am prepared to advocate the removal of those fetters which the present - vexations system of Excise imposes on-our native industry, , and to reduce all Customs' Duties to that point which will combine the greatest amount of imports with the greatest amount of revenue." Upon the principle of the Navigation Laws I entertain no doubt or hesitation. The wisdom of that system has been am ply proved .by long experience ; nor is it to be endured that our maratime, supremacy, and consequent national inviolability, should be endangered in order to:gratify the dogmatism of a modern school of political philosophy. Against the extreme views of that school I have in this Parliament vindicated the principle that it is the duty of the State to protect the rights and grant the just claims of poverty and labour; nor shall I shrink from asserting, on all occasions, that the State is the protector of the poor. The recent .and . general discussion. to which the Bank Charter Act has been subjected has failed to convince me that it is wise to maintain its present unyielding. character. The require ments of legitimate commerce call forits relaxaton. The s y s teni,of foreign centralization - has made great strides of late. It is, in my opinion. alien. to the ancient free cha racter of our people and their municipal institutions, and will, I fear if carried to the extent developed in measures recently submitted to .Parliament by her Majesty's present advisers, produce far more serious and lasting evils than any it can remedy. Your own town contains noble proofs of what local intelligence and .energy directed to great, even to national, objects can effect; and we should ill exchange the principles and habits that have produced such results for those which, confining all power and responsibility to the distant central authority, take away the incentives to activity and exertion from the local community. From this imperfect exposition of my principles you, gen tlemen, will, perhaps, be able to say whether they qualify me to appear as a Candidate for the Representation of your ancient and loyal Borough. Should you, in those assemblies where the claims of Candidates for that honour are discussed, express an opinion favourable to mine, I shall take the earliest oppor tunity of presenting myself before you, and thus give you the power to demand a fuller-explanation of my views and senti ments than in the limits of an Address I am able to afford; while,.on the other hand, should you manifest a disinclination to such opinions, I shall .at once desist from the arduous, though honourable, attempt to represent so great a Constitu ency, and incur so vast a responsibility. I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, London, July 9, 1847. JOHN MANNERS. BLUE COAT HOSPITAL. (AN SUNDAY MORNING next, a SERMON will V be preached in ST.

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.

Health is a great messing to those who can enjoy it, but to those who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and brings ruin on families.

CHINESE LlVlNG. — Articles of food form of course the most extensive trade of all; and it is sometimes a difficult matter to get through the streets for the immense quan tities of fish, pork, fruit, and vegetables which crowd the stands in front of the shops. Besides the more common kind of vegetables, the shepherds' purse, and a kind of trefoil or clover, are extensively used among the natives here ; and really these things, when properly cooked, more particularly the latter, are not bad. Dining-rooms, tea houses, and bakers' shops, are met with at every step, from the poor man who carries his kitchen or bakehouse upon his back, and beats upon a piece of bamboo to ap prise the neighbourhood of his presence, and whose whole establishment is not worth a dollar, to the most e x t ens i ve tavern or tea-garden crow d e d with two or three hundred customers. For a few cash (1000 or 2000=one dollar) a Chinese can dine in a sumptuous manner upon his rice, fish, vegetables, and tea; and I fully believe that iu no country in the world is there less real misery and want than in China. The very beggars seem a kind of jolly crew, and are treated kindly by the inhabitants.—For tune's Three Years' Wanderings in China. .• A NEGRO'S IDEAS ABOUT CHRISTIANITY. —I felt that the life and character of Jesus Christ were totally different from that of all other men whom I could conceive had ever lived before ; that he was altogether pure and spot less ; that in no sense did he ever seek his own aggran disement in a worldly sense—rejecting the offers of men to make him a king ; that he went about continually do ing good, and performing before thousands such miracles as were quite unheard of previously in the world. It oc curred to me also, that he who could feed thousands with a few loaves and small fishes,—who could calm the raging sea, and raise the dead from the grave, could also, if he willed, have called up an army of men from the dust of the ground ; but in place of this, he forbade his followers to fight in his defence, and delivered himself up calmly to the rage of his enemies ; and all this, that he might save from some awful future calamity the whole race of sinful and wicked mankind. To die for his worst enemies, and even to pray for those who were the immediate instruments of his death, seemed to me altogether so different frorn s the ways of the world, as far as I had seen or heard, that I conceived such a sublime and uncommon idea could arise only in the mind of some being altogether superior to the human race.—Life and Adventures of a Negro King. SCANTINESS OF ANIMAL LIFE IN THE ISLE OF MAN. —I am not aware that there are any fresh-water fish, ex cept the trout, which abounds in many of the rivers, and is generally small. Partridges, woodcocks, grouse, snipes, wild clucks, and puffins, are generally plentiful; hares are scarce, for want of corer. The bones of red deer and other species are found in different parts of the island, and a race of hardy ponies are bred -here; also short horned cattle, and small mountain sheep, coarse -wooled. The puffin is extremely fat, and reckoned a great delicacy by many. They build their nests in rabbit burrows, and are very prolific. It is said that 5,000 of their young were taken annually, without any apparent diminution of their numbers. Many small hawks, called " meslyns," arrive here from Ireland and the western parts of Scot land. Wilson mentions the existence of eagles, but I have not seen any. The curlew (scolopax arquata) is occasionally seen about the Calf of Man. Other birds usually seen upon the toast are, gulls, cormorants, shags, herons, crows, &c.. The birds of passage that spend the breeding time on the Calf of Man, are said to consist of eight species, among which are the " alea aretica" (puffin), and " torda " (razor-bill).—L e tt ers fram the Isle of Man. MEDITATIONS OF X YOUNG NEGRO. —When I was even a boy some very strange ideas of time and space en tered my mind. I used to lie down upon the ground and gaze for an hour or two upon the glittering stars with feel ings of indescribable delight. The sun was too dazzling and too splendid to gaze much upon ; but the moon, the mild and gentle moon, •and the innumerable clusters of beautiful stars, fascinated my sight, and filled my mind with wonder. For what they were made, how they were made, and of what they were made, altogether puzzled my . imagination. I sometimes, however, reasoned thus ; sup pose I were carried this moment to yonder light-star, what then should I see ? More stars I should think. And what then ? More again —still more and more; and then all will be darkness and nothing. But what then would be beyond that darkness ? This was the puzzle. In the same way I reasoned regarding time. After father dies, I shall be king—then I have son, he king—he have son again, more king —more son, more king. And what then ? No end can I see. World turn up—all things end. But how end ? Something must be. I could come to no de finite or satisfactory conclusion ; yet I think that such thoughts prove that Divine Providence, the light of na ture, or whatever it may be called, influenced me to a cer tain degree even in wild, dark Africa.—Life and Adven tures of Zamba, an African Negro King. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. —The New Houses may be described, in plan, as a vast assemblage of buildings, with the intervening courts, covering an area of nine statute acres, with a frontage to the Thames of nearly one thousand feet. In the centre of the plan is a large octagonal hall, communicating by a corridor and lobby, northward with the House of Commons, and south ward with the House of Lords. In a line with the latter is the Victoria Hall and Gallery, for the royal entrance by the Victoria Tower, at the southwest angle of the plan. Flanking the "Houses" and offices arc eleven large open courts; St. Stephen's Hall, and the crypt of old St.. St ephen's, to be used as a chapel for Divine worship; and old Westminster Hall will form a grand vestibule of en trance to the entire pile. It will comprise fourteen halls, galleries, vestibules, and other ap ar tme n t s , o f great capa city and noble proportion; and eight official residences, each a first-rate mansion, that for the Speaker being as large as the Reform Club House. The space between the principal apartments is occupied by open courts, and cor ridors and lobbies, besides libraries, waiting-rooms, &c. In the river front is a central conference hall, with com mittee-rooms and libraries, for the Lords and Commoners, Speaker and Black Rod Usher's apartments, &c.; the whole plan numbering between five and six hundred dis tinct roams. The principal external features will be the Victoria Tower already named, now built to the height of ninety feet, and to be raised to four hundred feet; the Clock Tower, at the 'Westminister Bridge end; and the tower of the octagon or Central Hall ; besides the towers in the river front. The exterior is of hard magnesian limestone, from Boleover, in Nottinghamshire; and the interior of Caen stone. The main beams and joists are of iron throughout, and the several buildings are fire-proof. The style of the architecture is florid Gothic : we have not, however, space to detail its picturesque enrichments --its canopied niches with statuettes of crowned sovereigns - mitred churchmen, and sainted women; its thirty-five shields of .arms of the sovereigns of England; its multi tudinous badges, religious and loyal inscriptions; its richly gilt wind vanes, and erect-tiles, noble windows, massive arches, and the numberless embellishments with which the whole pile may be said to bristle. The style employed may be best described in the architect's own words:—" It has been his aim to avoid the ecclesiastical, collegiate, cas tzllated, and domestic styles, and to select that which he considers better suited to the peculiar appropriation of the building."—Sharpe's London Magazine. NICOLL'S PALETOT, OF LLAMA CLOTTI, REG.') 6 AND 7 Vie., CAP. 65.—Messrs Nicoll, Court Tailors, of Regent-street and Cornhill, London, have the honour re spectfully to announce that MESSRS. DAWBARN AND SON, of 110, Bold-street, Liverpool, will continue to be their sole agents for that town, and will have the exclu sive sale of this fashionable Coat. Messrs. Nicoll can most cheerfully recommend this establishment to any of their patrons residing in its neighbourhood who may re quire, with the Paletot Coats, either Dress or Frock, Trousers, Waistcoats, &c., MESSRS. DAWBARN AND SON being constantly supplied from London with every improvement in taste and fashion, and more particularly as the same principles of business for which their own firm is now well known are maintained by Messrs. Daw barn, viz., very moderate prices, combined with every ex cellence of material for prompt cash payments. Messrs. N. are well aware that there are some fashions which have' so little of the enduring principle in them that they sel dom survive the fluctuations of a single season; others, which from their intrinsic merit, acquire a firm footing in public esteem and enjoy a more extensive vogue in pro portion as they become known to the public. To the lat ter order the Paletot has an undoubted claim, as by its unassuming, yet gentlemanly appearance may be ascribed the constant patronage of H. R. 11. Prince Albert, Prince George of Cambridge, His Grace the Duke of Wellington, and the principal members of the senate, the pulpit, and the bar.
