A second meeting of the conservative electors of Scot land Ward was held at the house of Mrs. Barton, Bur lington-street, on the evening of Tuesday last. Shortly before eight o'clock, the chair was taken, amid loud cheers, by Mr. Alderman Houghton. Mr. Councillor ASPIN ALL rose to propose the first re solution, and was, as usual, received in that spirit of un bounded enthusiasm which his public and consistent character through life has so justly deserved. He said that it afforded him intense pleasure to meet the electors of Scotland Ward, and to encourage them to pursue that onward course of conservative action which had so nobly distinguished them on former occasions. He regretted, however, to have to inform them that Mr. Thomas Wil son had declined the honour of becoming their candidate. Ile was authorised to say that Mr. Wilson having received a most respectably and numerously signed requisition to allow himself to be nominated as a candidate for the ward at the approaching election, and having maturely con sidered whether he could conscientiously accept it from his numerous avocations requiring his constant attention, had been reluctantly compelled to decline their kindness on the present occasion. He (Mr. Wilson) begged to be permitted specially to thank those who interested them selves on his behalf and signed the requisition. and to say that having consented to become chairman of the com mittee for conducting the election of Thomas Vernon, Esq.—(cheers,)—who had kindly allowed himself to be nominated in his stead—(loud cheers.)—he most respect fully solicited their votes and interest in favour of that gentleman, being fully convinced that he would do credit to their choice and justice to their municipal concerns. (Renewed cheers.) Mr. Aspinall then proceeded to des cant upon the merits of Mr. Vernon's character, undoubted respectability, and staunch conservative principles, and that he carried on the business of an engineer and boiler maker in the ward to a very considerable extent. He concluded by proposing Mr. Vernon as a fit and proper person to represent the ward in the Town-council. (Loud cheering.) Mr. RICHARD EDWARDS, in seconding the proposi tion, said lie coincided in all Mr. Aspinall had so justly observed respecting the numerous qualifications of Mr. Vernon. The motion was then put And carried ananimously. Mr. Councillor JONES proposed the second resolution, to the effect that it was incumbent on the electors to use every exertion to secure Mr. Vernon's triumphant return. Mr. G. KERFORD seconded the resolution, which was also unanimously adopted. Mr. Vernon here entered the room, and was hailed with protracted cheering. He said that in consequence of the retirement of Mr. Wilson he had been requested by a very large and influential portion of the constituency to become a candidate for the representation of their ward at the approaching municipal election. The respectful and urgent manner in which that request had been made, coupled with his own sense of duty, had induced him to comply—though very much opposed to his inclination. He promised, in case they should do him the honour to return him as their representative, to exert himself to pro mote every measure calculated for their benefit and that of the town. (Hear, hear.) His political principles were strictly conservative—(cheers)—hased upon the desire to regard with reverence the sacred injunction of " Fear God and honour the King," which led him to appose infidelity, Popery, and radicalism, and to promote, by every means in his power, Protestantism, true liberty, and scriptural education. (Cheers.) But, notwithstanding his high con servative principles, yet, if any proved abuses should have crept into those institutions, which had been rendered venerable by antiquity. he was willing to rectify or correct them ; and whenever he saw o pp ress i on , w h et h er i t pro ceeded from the radical or the conservative side, he would ever be its most determined and decided enemy. (Loud and continued cheering.) Mr. Vernon proceeded at much further length with the enunciation of his principles. - Upon the motion of Mr. VERNON, seconded by Mr. TnomAs ELLIOT, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman. and the meeting separated, after having given several rounds of cheering and the Kentish fire. GREAT GEORGE WARD, Thi E LIVE ft i l OO i, STANDARD (Cheers.) Mr. Hortiby, who was a staunch conservative, had also authorised him to state, that he would support inviolate the present system of scriptural education pur sued in the Corporation Schools, and would do his utmost to carry it out. (Cheers.) He concluded by reading Mr. Hornby's address to the electors, just then printed, (and which will be found in another column ;) and said he should be glad, on behalf of Mr. Hornbv, to answer any questions that might be put relative to that gentleman. No question was put, with the exception of whether Mr. H. had any connexion with Mr. Hugh Horriby, which was answered in the negative, amidst much cheering. Mr. INGRAM, seconded by Mr. Sothern, moved the thanks of the meeting, in complimentary terms, to the chairman, which was carried by acclamation ; after which the meeting gave three cheers for the chairman, the like compliment to Mr. Royden, and three groans for Dan O'Connell, and then separated. The election for a councillor, in the room of Alderman Lawrence, will take place to-morrow, (Wednesday.) MEETING OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF BIRKENHEAD An adjourned meeting of the commissioners of the township of Birkenhead, was held in the commissioners' room, Birkenhead, on Thursday, for the purpose of confirm - ing the appointment of a superintendent to the police department, as well as that of a surveyor of buildings for the township. The night was very stormy, and there was but a thin attendance of members. Mr. Jackson, in the absence of J. D. Case Esq., took the chair. The follow ing members were present : Messrs. Wm. Jackson, Cole, Adamson, Kerr, M'Nicoll, Appleton, Hinde, Hammond, Dale, Pim, and Bentham. Mr. IvIALLABY stated the object of the meeting, and said that the committee appointed to fix upon a superin tendent of the police were unanimous in recommending Mr. Samuel Moss to that situation. Mr. ;Wallaby then read the report of the committee on the subject. It stated the various duties which the superintendent would have to perform. Independent of his services as super intendent of police, he was to act as collector of rates, and treasurer of the township. His salary was to be £l4O per annum, and he was to find adequate surety for the due performance of his respective situations. Mr. BENTHAM thought the arrangement a very good one. He was, however, of opinion, that as the collector on some days would only collect a few shilling, it would not be necessary to give him the trouble of going over to Liverpool to place it in the bank. The CHAIRMAN said,ii;at there wonld be rex days in which the collector would not receive £lO. The arrange ments, however, had been come to in order to put the township to as little expense as possible. Mr. H INDE said, that the collecting of taxes was always a disagreeable occupation, and the less expense the town sbip was put to the better. The CH AIRMAN said, that the committee bad come to the determination of appointing Mr. Samuel Moss for a certain time to see if he would answer. It was, however, his (the Chairman's) opinion, that they could not find a more suitable person. Mr. BENTHAM begged to say, that when he had, on a former occasion, opposed the appointment of Mr. Moss, it was not that he thought that person unfit for the situa tion, but he thought his appointment at the time was placing an improper power in the hands of the board. He had, however, since come to the conclusion that they had done right, and thought they could not find a more suita ble person. The appointment of Mr. Moss was then confirmed. STATE OF FEELING AMONGST THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND UPON THE SUBJECT OF RE PEAL, AND THEIR PROSPEC'N OF SUCCESS IN THE EVENT OF AN ARMED INSURREC TION. In the present crisis of affairs in Ir tions of every impart lid the observa. al observer of passing events 'and character assume a tenfold value ; and v therefore, no apology to our readers for offering to their perusal the following condensation of the facts contained in two highly interesting letters, which have just been addressed to the editor of the Mornir►q Clironicl , , and copied from the columns of that paper into the leading journals of both parties, in England and in Ireland. We may premise that the writer, whom we may assume to be of Whig politics, had, before entering upon his inquiry, arrived at the conclusion, from a contemplation of affairs in Ireland as represented in the public press, that the agi tation for repeal was " a gigantic piece of blarney on O'Connell's part," kept. up to save himself from pecuniary ruin ; and that the object contemplated was, at the utmost, the obtaining of an instalment of those measures which he has been in the habit of clamouring for, as " Justice to Ireland." His changed conviction, on visiting Ireland, we give in his own words : " It soon became apparent to me, after my arrival in Ireland, that although this view of the case was perfectly correct as far as O'Connell was concerned, the matter had taken much deeper root. Other leaders beside O'Connell either appeared on the stage, or skulked bt.liind the scenes ; and, above all, it was evident that the great mass of the Roman Catholic peasantry had thoroughly taken the mat ter to heart. The people were bursting with repeal. It was not in the least necessary to put searching questions to them in order to get at their sentiments. You could not make the commonest inquiry without bringing on a repeal discussion. If you asked the price of pork or fish in the streets, the old women were sure to say something of this sort after they had answered your question : Well, sir, when are we to have our rights ? when will our Parliament sit in College-green ?' " The people, in short, were determined to have repeal —by fair means, if possible—but, at any rate, repeal. They had, moreover, fully made up their minds to the sacrifices consequent upon a popular rising, and had fami liarised themselves to all the contingencies of an insurrec tion in an extraordinary degree. There was not a sinele important point connected with the subject on which they were not prepared with a good military answe, ; and, in whatever part of the country the question might be asked, you were sure of receiving the same answer in substance, and, generally speaking, in nearly the same words. The last-mentioned circumstance proves to de monstration that the plans of operation with which the heads of the peasantry were filled did not originate with themselves, but that they had emanated from some com mon source, and were, in fact, the instructions of superior minds, which had been carefully prepared to suit the exi gency of the case, and had been afterwards disseminated by means of some established organisation among the people." NICIP AL CORPORATIONS ACT SUBSEQUENT LOCAL 7 From Magistrates' Clerks:... 615 13 Fines upon Summary Convic-j . tions and Sessions Penalties 3507 13 , 7 Fines for declining to serve 0 office A meeting of the Conservative electors of Great George Ward took place on Friday evening, at Mr. Jones's, the White Lion Inn, Great George's-place, to nominate two representatives in the room of Mr. James Lawrence (created an alderman), and Mr. Cooper. The attendance was numerous, the room being crowded to ex - cess, and those present included the staunchest Conserva tives of the district, as well as many others of the first re spectability. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE was unanimously called to the chair, and was enthusiastically received. lie regretted to state that Me. G. H. Lawrence, was unavoidably ab sent ; but that gentleman had sent a letter, which he (the chairman) doubted not would satisfactorily account for his not being present. He read a letter, in which the writer expressed his regret that the council should lose the ser vices of Mr. Cooper, who had throughout several years so ably espoused the cause to which they were all so firmly attached,—and strongly reccommended to the support of the electers the two gentlemen who would that night be proposed as candidates. Mr. G. H. Lawrence in conclu sion stated that his warmest wishes were with them, and that his best services should always be at the command of the conservatives of this and other wards. (The reading of the letter was received with much applause.) The Chairman proceeded to 'observe that as the coo- ail had thought proper to elect him to fill the office of Alderman vacant by the resignation of Mr. Earle, another Coon cellor would have to be elected in .his own room ; but befere proceeding to the more immediate business of the evening, be begged to thank the electors for the uniform kindness and respect which he had received at their hands, for the last eight years, during which he had tbe honour of representing them in the council. He hoped that they had ever found him faithful to the trust they had reposed in him, and although he might no longer be considered as their representative, he assured them that he should ever he attached to the interests of the ward, and would in the station to which he was now called, endeavour to forward their interests with the same fidelity, and with all the humble ability he could exert to promote their welfare. (Loud cheers.) eve had this year to do with a diminished income of nearly Mr. Lyon JONES said he had great pleasure in propos productiveness of nearly the whole of the property has in- ing the first resolution, which he read as follows :—" Th a t e, again d the thanks of the burgesses areue, and are hereby g i ven against the present year, of £lO,OOO, un d er th e h ea d of to James Lawrence, Esq., Joseph Cooper, Esq., and nds in two other items, which this increased productiveness Thomas Royden, Esq., for their vigilant watchfulness table that the committee h ave succee d e d, b y rigid economy, over the interests of this ward ; an d th e y can no t a ll ow addition, however, to thi s , we ma y o b serve th a t i n the this opportunity to pass without expr ess i ng th e i r regret at the retirement of Joseph Cooper, Esq., whose conduct )RDINARY INCOME AND EXPENDITURE" three items-- throughout has been such as to merit tbe unqualified ap c' Conservancy," and £371 I s .

Mr. COOPER then presented himself and was enthusi astically received. - He said that after the very flattering manner in which he had been greeted, he never felt greater embarrassment than at the present moment, or CR. more at a loss to express his gratitude to those around EXTRAORDINARY RECEIPTS, FROM IST SEPTEMBER, him. He had had the honour of representing the ward 1842, TO 31sT AUG;UST, 1843. during the last six years, and nothing but peculiar circumstances would induce him to retire. He would not have come to that determination, it' he had thought the ward in any danger, or that the electors would not be able to carry out their object triumphantly—however in convenient to himself. He had, however, expressed his wish to retire three years ago, and lie trusted they would now excuse him, as two gentlemen would be proposed who would, he firmly believed, carry out the principles to which they were attached to their full extent. (Cheers.) On the former occasion of his wishing to retire, there was a difficulty in procuring good candidates, but that was now removed. The two gentlemen to be proposed were well worthy of their confidence. One of them, Mr. So therm, had been for fifteen years a resident in the ward, and his principles were known and appreciated. The other, Mr. George Hornby, was equally known and valued by them all, and he entertained no doubt that these gentle men would act in a manner that would give entire satisfac tion to the ward. He had therefore much pleasure in pro posing the following resolution That it is the opinion of this meeting that George Green Hornby, Esq., is a fit and proper person to represent this Ward in the place of James Lawrence, Esq. ; and John Sotbern, Esq., in the place of Joseph Cooper. Esq., both from their well known characters as men, and their unswerving attach. ment to true conservative principles. ° ' Mr. JAMES DEMPSEY seconded the proposition, ex , I of ships in the night time at the Clarence and Trafalgar pressing his belief that the candidates would b e f oun d to give the utmost satisfaction to the ward.

The objejt, of the people is to;;Cplenty of work, and to obi ain a favourable permanent settlement of their rents; hut they have a furtner object, which they look to as the inevitAle result. of a successful insurrection. which is to get rid of the landlords altogetl:er, and to divide the land among themselves—not merely the forfeited estates, but the land ; at least all which is in the possession of persons not thoroughly devoted to their cause. - The result is, that %;e are standing on the verge of a re ligious and agrarian war, which would unite the horrors of the Jacquerie and St. Bartholomew. O'Connell has for some time past been aware of this fact, and nobody has been more alarmed at it than he has been. with He e and n has ov ‘ to whipped , his his d horsesim ay, he finds that s unti l theyh have rum h away him, is not his own co ichman. He has a gentleman on the box dressed in black. If any of the more moderate lay repeaters are asked what is the ground of the confidence expressed by them that there will be no outbreak, they can only refer you to the priests. O'Connell himself is now really as much in the hands of the priests, as far as this question is concerned, as we are'ourselves. He has evoked a spirit which is too strong for him. ' Nevertheless, he has done his best to set bounds to the torrent. The following expressions, extracted from his speech at Lismore, will convey some idea of his real position :—" My heart is filled with delight at the scene that has been exhibited before us all this day. (Hear.) It proves that I ought to change my position; I ought to become a different person from what I was. Heretofore I was ar agitator, stimulating and exciting to exertion, and endeavouring to persuade every person by argument that they ought to exert themselves to the very utmost. (Hear, hear.)

To the remarks of the writer, upon the prospect of success in the attempt to threw ~ff the connexion with Great Britain, we shall probably revert on another oc casion. At present, we must content ourselves with the above brief review of facts, which we are convinced affords an overtrue picture of the condition of misguided and unhappy Ireland. A. LETTER OF MEDEATION TO THE CONGREGATION OF ST. ANDRETV'S CHUM RODNEY-STREET. FATHERS A!•:13 BRETHREN,—The disruption of the Church of Scotland has begun to work divisions among us, who were till lately a united and harmonious congre gation. It is, doubtless, our unanimous wish that these divisions should be crushed at the outset. In order, if possible, to prevent them from arising at all, our trustees and committee of management provsed for our choice three qualified ministers of the Free Church of Scotland. ; in terms of the new constitution, which was before unani mously adopted with that view by the shareholders of our place of meeting. Some of the shareholders, however, have since applied for and obtained an injunction from the Court of Chancery against our choosing any minister of the Free Church to officiate as pastor in that place. One of three courses, therefore, must be taken by us. 1. We may submit to the injunction ; or 2, we may an swer it ; or 3, we may agree with the adverse parties to settle the matter amicably by arbitration of some eminent barrister who shall be furnished with the necessary in formation through fit persons selected to represent each side. To another paragraph we must direct attention, inas much as it shows that the labours of Father Mathew, honest or not honest in intention, are at all events a part, and an important one of the agitation for repeal. The writer observes of the peasantry— " If the rebellion of 1798 was spoken of, the remark invariably made was to this effect :—"Those days, sir, were the days of drinking R hisicy. Our people lav drunk in the ditches, and the troops obtained an easy victory. But now we are a sober, temperate, and religious people.' If I heard this remark once 1 heard it fifty times."

There had been five applications to the committee, three of whom were architects, and the other two were engineers. The committee had fixed upon Mr. Walter Scott, architect, for the situation, at a salary of £250 per annum. The appointment was confirmed by the board, after which they adjourned. This last course-1i.... -would be far th most summary and expeditious, as well as the least ex pensive. How distres,ing will it be to have one place of worship closed and the flock scattered during the twelve month or more that may elapse while the suit is pending! How sad to sr end in law expenses one, two, or three thousand pounds, that may build one or more chapels, or be otherwise better employed in promoting the gospel! But further, this last course (seeing the first alternative— unqualified submission—cannot be entertained) is the most consistent with the letter and spirit of the New Tes tament. Let the 6th Chapter of lst Corinthians be read as far as far as verse 7, where it is said, " But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers [a term too applicable to many ci‘, il judges] ; now, there tore, there is utterly a fault among you because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong ?" &c. There is reason to hope that the parties at whose instance the injunction was sought will be willing to accede to such a proposal if made, and surely it will he unbe corning in us to refuse to make it. Let us try what can be done in this way, and if our proposal is scouted, which I am confident it will not be, we can go to law with a safer conscience, and may expect a greater blessing on our cause. We cannot but regret that some misapprehension of motives, not perhaps amounting to bitterness, has already been engendered on both sides. I beseech the congrega tion to regard our adversaries in the suit as brethren, seeking like ourselves the good of the Scotch population of Liverpool, but differing from us as to the means of effecting it. They believe the Established Church of Scotland the best medium ; we believe on the other hand the Free Church, or our own English Synod, the best medium. They conceive the first constitution and original design of the Rodney-street Church bind it inalienably and exclusively to the Establishment ; we are led to con clude the shareholders had full power to unite it equally to the Free Church. There is, therefore, a difference of \ v‘ N , T e h a ii r c e ‘, o v r e tei in knowdoetnr not h a e n d s e i c n re a t t t p a r c i n h_- m op e i n n t i o t n o e t e ii r e t a g i o n s l p y e , i. but ciples of their heart, shall we claim for ourselves more love to Christ, more submission to His holy will ?—nay ; 1 rather think were we and they to reverse our positions, we might act very much as they are doing. if the friends of the Free Church had built a splendid edifice, and from some alteration of feeling their representation had changed its understood original destination, and allowed it t o f a ll so thoroughly i n t o t h e system of the Established Church as tat no minister of the Free could thereafter officiate there, would we not complain and seek redress? I say this to remove any undue harsh construction of our ad versaries' conduct. If some of them condescend to read my remarks, I trust they will not think the less seriously of the very solemn responsibility they are bringing them selves under, that of taking a course which may deprive the congregation of a minister of their own choice, or drive many of us from our accustomed place of worship, never again to assemble in this world as one flock. Such con. sequences we may well deplore and deprecate.
