LIVERPOOL TO WIT. CAUTION! ADDRESSED TO THE COMMON SENSE OF THE INHABITANTS OF LIVERPOOL. LADIES and GENTLEMEN,—A Placard having been industriously circulated in this town, seeming to have at first sight a semi-official authority, we deem it a duty we owe to ourselves and the Public to expose the authors of this libellous production, in order that they may be held up to contempt and scorn in the eyes of the respectable portion of the Traders, Merchants, and Gentry of Liverpool—Be it under stood that on the first day of the Grand Sale held by the Company of Brokers at the Adelphi -Hotel, the heads of two large firms in the town (whose names will be published in the Gazette) waited upon us, and stated we were doing their trade irreparable injury by selling goods to the Public at less than half their value, and that-it was &competition that they and no other houses could withstand. They then proposed to purchase the whole of the costly property at the prices marked in plain figures for retail customers, provided we would take Bills of Exchange at three, six, and nine months date, accepted by themselves. This proposition was, after much consideration, Positively but respectfully declined. THE DRAPERS OF LIVERPOOL Anticipating the result if a sale of such enormous magnitude was held in their town, convened a Meeting, on Thursday Evening last, at the Town Hall, and in their collective wisdom did deem it meet to employ as their tool and agent, one REAY, OF COMMERCE COURT AND BOLD STREET NO PORIETY, To suppress the distribution ; and they did furthermore all agree, with one honourable exception, to try a disclaimer from the Custom-House Secretary, perfectly unnecessary, the pro perty having passed the ordeal of the 16 sec. 8 and 9 Victoria, cap 91, vouchers registered, and A CAPATAL.

CANDLES CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. ALARGE quantity of CANDLES having been lately brought into this town from Warrington, at prices ruinous to honest Traders, the TALLOW CHANDLERS of LIVERPOOL, in self-defence, beg to state that they have ob tained Samples of the same from seve -Dealers, and having weighed them at•the Public Mar Rice, find they are inva riably from Ten to Twelve Ou sin the Dozen Pounds short of weight ; and believing„thlit a profit thus fraudulently ob tained is as injurious,to the. Public as to themselves, they therefore venture to - hope that no Grocer will countenance so disreputable a proceeding, and that no respectable House keeper will patronise those Dealers who connive at the same.

In accordance with the Advertisements, a PUBLIC MEET ING, duly convened ? took place on FRIDAY EVENING, the 13th of August, 1847,at Eight o'clock,at the Hanover-square Rooms, London, his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE having been prevented from taking the chair, owing to a pre-arranged departure for the Continent, the Right Hon. Lord DUDLEY STUART, M.P., had beeu invited to preside. Previous to the resolutions being submitted, the Original Oration upon the Life, Character, and Genius of the Poet, was pronounced by the Author and Originator of the Meeting ; after which the following letter was read from Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P. : _ _ _ " St. James's-place, August, 1847. " Lord Dudley Stuart presents his compliments to Mr. Geo. Jones, and thanks him for his very kind and obliging letters ; and begs to say that he cannot possibly have the pleasure of accepting the honour Mr. Jones so kindly proposes conferring on him, viz., that of taking the Chair at the Public Meeting to be held this week, for the purpose of preserving Shakspeare's House' to the Nation, previous engagements causing his ab sence from town." Whereupon it was moved, seconded, and carried by accla mation— That GEORGE JONES, Esq., Historian, and Honorary Mem ber of the Royal Shakspearian Club, be the Chairman of this Meeting. Moved by the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. JEFFS, and carried unanimously— That the Right Honourable Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., be invited to be the Honorary Treasurer of the proposed Memorial Fund. Moved by C. DE LA PRYME, Esq., - seconded by Mr. RAM SEY, and carried unanimously— That the Founder and Chairman of the present Meeting be appointed Chairman of The People's Central Committee of the Shakspeare Memorial Fund. The following Resolutions (drawn up and read by the Clfair man) were then submitted to the Meeting for its approval ; when, after discussion, and a motion for adjournment being lost by a large majority, they were Moved by T. PURLAND, Esq., seconded by Mr. RAMSEY, and carried unanimously, with only one dissentient, viz. : RESOLUTIONS Whereas it is officially announced that the House at Strat ford-upon-Avon, in which the great Dramatic Poet of England was born, is to be sold at Public Auction, this meeting views, with profound anxiety, even the possibility of the House of Shakspeare being mutilated, removed, or destroyed by the hands of avaricious speculation, when it is regarded by the Na tion as an heir-loom of the people of England; and, it permit.' ted to be destroyed, or even removed from tne possibility of receiving the devotional respect from the future Pilgrims of Poetry, the present age will receive. from posterity a lasting re proach which no time will cancel . -will be charged with a criminal inaction which no excuse can even palliate. Therefore, it is Resolved, That this Meeting form itself into a Committee, to be called The People's Central Committee of the Shakspeare Memorial Fund, and that the said Committee consist of the following Gentlemen, with power to add to their number : Sheridan Knowles, Esq., Albert Smith, Esq., Dr. Partridge, • G. K. Huxley, Esq., T. G. Margary, Esq., C. H. Case, Esq., T. Tyler, Esq., A. Richmond, Esq., J. Morgan, Esq., J. H. Hand, Esq., R. Williams, Esq., T. P: Healey, Esq., Chas. de la Pryme, Esq., Mr. E. Evans, T. Purland, Esq., Mr. George Harris, H. W. Pearson, Esq., Mr. R. Jeffs, T. B. Lacy, Esq., Mr. Ramsey, Mr. F. 1% Fowler, &c. Resolved, That a Public Appeal be hereby made to the People of Great Britain for a National Subscription (even, by the smallest coin of the Realm) for the purpose of purchasing the Shakspeare House and Property, and vesting it jointly in the name of the People of England in the Trusteeship of the Royal Shaksperian Club, and the Corporation of Stratford-upon Avon for ever : the former Association having been on established for the express purpose' of preserving the Relics of Shakspeare, and rendering an annual tribute to his memory. Resolved, That this Meeting views with the most fervent admiration, the Patronage accorded at this time to the Royal Shakspearian Club by His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, which, together with the munificent donation of £250 towards the especial ob ject of this Meeting, cannot but increase the profound respect and esteem already entertained for the Prince-Consort by the People of Great Britain. Resolved. That the munificent donation of -elOO by Her Majesty, The Queen Dowager, towards the same National Object, merits the respectful and fervent thank s o f t hi s Meet i ng; and being called forth upon this—the anniversary of the Queen Adelaide's birth day—they are conjoined with the devotional wishes of this assembly, for the continual health and happiness of Her Majesty. Resolved, • That this Meeting recommends that the surplus funds arising from the National Subscription (either from the People, Asso ciations, or otherwise) after paying the purchase-money of the Shakspeare House and Property, (and incidental expenses,) be disposed of as follows, Viz. :-10, To the erecting of a Public Statue to the honour and memory of the Poet, either in London or at Stratford. 2dly, To the founding of a Shakspeare Scho larshin at either the University of Cambridge or Oxford. And Idly, To the establishing of a Shakspeare Charitable Institution for the Poor and Infirm of the Poet's Native Town. Resolved, That this Meeting regards the intended sale of • Shakspeare's House by Public Auction with abhorrence, and as a disgrace to England and an insult to the memory of the Poet; and that the rejection of the generous otter (at private sale) of Two Thou sand Pounds, made by . the originator of this Meeting—George Jones, Esq.—plainly indicates the final determination of the parties interested : and therefore this Meeting does not hesitate to proclaim, that any person,_ or party, who would wantonly or avariciously sport with the Property, so as to,endanger the per manent safety of the Birth-place of Shakspeare, deserves to receive from the people of England the lasting infamy which such conduct would justly merit. Resolved. That this Meeting earnestly recommends that a Branch Com mittee of this—the People's Central Committee of the Shak speare Memorial Fund—be established in every City and Town of Great Britain, founded upon a Public Meeting of the People, to do honour to the Great Poet who arose from among them selves ; and that the said Branch Committee (when formed) are hereby respectfully invited to communicate (with the result of their Subscriptions) with the Chairman of the People's Cen tral Committee in London. Resolved. While this Meeting, from its early announcement, justly claims the priority of the first public movement to rescue Shakspeare's House—yet it gratefully recognises the efforts that are being made by the several Societies and Associations, to collect Subscriptions among themselves; and since all must be actuated by the same generous impulse—this Meeting, through its Committee, offers its fervent co-operation in the good cause, and expects the same courtesy in return. Resolved, That Subscriptions (either by Cheque, Postoffice Order, Stamps, or otherwise) be authorised to be received at the fol lowing. Banks (permission having been kindly granted to open Subscription Books and to receive Donations) viz. :—The Lon don and Westminster Bank, St. James's-square; the London Joint Stock Bank, Pall-Mall ; Messrs.

The total number of voters polled for the Conservative condidates was 2793, and for the Radicals 2289, giving a majority for the Conservatives of no fewer than 504 votes, which proves indisputably that but for the unfortunate differences which prevailed at the late parliamentary elec tion in this town, we should have returned triumphantly two Conservative candidates. We are at a loss to understand why Vauxhall Ward was not contested by the Conservatives, when we call to mind the fact that last year Mr. J. G. Morris was returned by a majority of 118 to 79 over his opponent, Mr. Chalmer. In Castle-street the case is different, for various reasons. There are therefore 13 Conservatives returned this year to the Council, and 3 Radicals. The retiring Conserva tives were 12 in number. The Radicals were yesterday successful in one only of the contested wards, and here their success is attributable to the unworthy desertion of their cause by a knot of so-called Conservative Churchmen.

In this ward Mr. G. G. Hornby, late the member for - Great George's Ward, was the Conservative candidate, and Mr. Wm. Walthew appeared on the Radical side, repre senting, however, more particularly the feeling of the Houseowners' Association, of which he is chairman. From the commencement of this contest Mr. Hornby has had brought against him a tissue of misrepresentations and an amount of ill feeling, arising mainly from a clique of so-called High Churchmen within the ward, which have formed a disgraceful exception to the good feeling which has characterised the struggle in every other ward in the town. One of the misrepresentations in question, if it is not immediately traceable to the successful candi date, Mr. Walthew, or promulgated with his sanction, ought at least to have been promptly contradicted by him, as an honourable man. The misrepresentation in question was sent abroad in a circular, signed by the secretary of the Houseowners' Association—Mr. Walthew being the chairman, as we have before said, of such association—in which a list was given of members of the council, said to have voted in favour of a motion, very unfavourably re ceived by the association, in favour of rating the owners, instead of the occupants, of cottage property. In the list, thus published, the name of Mr. Hornby is given as hav ing voted in favour of such motion. He, however, not only voted against the motion, but it must have been known to the secretary of the association that he did so ; for Mr. Hornby actually received, by letter, the thanks of the association for having given such vote. This fact, with a copy of Mr. Walthew's letter of thanks, was pla carded throughout the ward, but we suppose was covered over, as such unpleasant contradictions usually are in ex citing times. The secretary was addressed by Mr. Hornby, calling upon him to make the contradiction, as well known as the slander, by issuing circulars correcting the original mistake. Nothing of the sort, however, was done. The slander was left to work its mischief. How Mr.Walthow, however, as an honourable man, can condescend to owe his seat in the council to the effect of-so unworthy a trick it is difficult to tell. From the first, the Radical candidate took the lead ; and kept in a considerable majority up to 3 o'clock. From, this time, however, the double votes from Exchange and other wards began to come in. It proved, however, that this course had been deferred a little too long; for at 4 o'clock, Mr. Hornby was five votes behind his opponent, who is in consequence the sittin g mem b er . A few minutes more would have turned the scale, as 5 voting papers were tendered just as the poll was closing ; and it is confidently stated that with twenty minutes more time, Mr. Hornby would have had a majority scarcely short of fifty. A scrutiny was demanded by Mr. Hornby's friends, some votes having, asit appeared to them, been given by parties not entitled to vote. After occupying last night about four hours, however, the decision of the mayor confirmed the validity of Mr. Walthew's return. JOSEPH HORATIOBROWN ELI CENSED HAWKERII A.

ROYAL ADELPHI THEATRE.—The performances at this pretty little theatre during the past fortnight have been attractive. The audiences have considerably increased, and the various personators of the characters have grown in the estimation of the attendants, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Edwards, Miss Fielding, Mr. Rice, and, in fine, the whole company. have elicited enthusiastic applause, and fully fulfilled the promises of the manager, that their excellence should be second to none before us. The bill-of-fare for the week is varied and attractive, FATAL STREET ACCIDENT. — An inquest was held yesterday. before Mr. Curry, on view of the body of Catharine West, a poor female, 77 years of age, who was killed by being run over by an omnibus, the driver of which, Philip Conland, was in custody. The investigation occupied a considerable time, seven or eight witnesses being called. The omnibus belongs to Mr. Morris. and runs to Bootle. On Saturday night, about seven o'clock, the deceased, who, it appeared, sold matches in the street, was passing along the footwalk at the top of Exchange street East, and corner of Tithebarn-street, when a drunken man came against her, and threw her off the flags into the carriage-way. The omnibus was coming up the street, and close by at the time. A female endeavoured to get her up, and got hold of her hand, but failed in the attempt, and she was run over by the fore and after wards the hind wheel of the off side. When picked up she was in a dying state, and expired almost imme diately afterwards. Several gentlemen who were outside passengers on the vehicle gave distinct testimonies, to the effect that the driver was quite sober, was driving at a slow pace, (three or four miles an hour only,) and that they attributed no blame to him whatever, as he could not see the deceased, from the position he was in on the box, and could not have pulled up (though he attempted it at the moment the alarm was given) even if he had seen Ter, as she fell close to the fore wheel. Several of these gentlemen (including Mr. Orme, of the Rimrose Hotel ; Mr. Gerrard, of Great Crosby ; Mr. J. H. Butler, of Waterloo, who had been driven by him for years) gave him a good character for steadiness and sobriety, as did his present master, with whom he has been for about three years ; and it appeared that he was perfectly sober at the time of the accident. Mr. Woods, surgeon, who examined the body, stated that death was caused by rupture of the liver, produced by external violence. The jury, after a very brief consultation, returned a verdict of accidental death. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—" The Bottle," which has been played to crowded audiences at this theatre during the past fortnight, has furnished another proof of the effectiveness of this popular company in the enaction of the domestic drama.

GASTRONOMIC DELICACIES.—In the Tyrol, and parti cularly at Voralberg, a regular business of breeding snails for sale is carried on. They are placed in large pieces of ground, bare of shrubs and trees, and Covered with grass, where they are fed with cabbage leaves. 'ln winter they are covered with moss to protect them from the cold. The flesh is most delicate in autumn. They are sold on the spot at the rate of about 24 to : 3 florins the thousand. THE DEAD ALIVE.—One of the journali relates an ex traordinary escape from death, which is statedto have taken place at Liege. Two of the student§of the hospital having gone into the dead-room to choose a subject for some anotomical study, were astonished to find one of the bodies exhibiting signs of life. Tbey removed it to a warm bed, and in a few hours had the satisfaction of seeing every symptom of revival. The patient is said to- be now in a state of convalescence. THUNDER STORM AT BENSCLIFFE WOOD, NEAR BRADGATE PARK.—On Sunday, the 24th inst., between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, the earth trembled and was silent while the power of God was displayed in the heavens. The trees on the north-east side of the wood for about two acres were literally stripped of .their bark, and at the roots of several of them the ; ground was opened by the electric fluid, as if a cannon ball had entered the earth. But the most serious part of the visitation was, that two cows, worth about X 35, were struck dead on the spot by the lightning, one as she lay down, and the other while in the act of grazing. A part of their flesh appeared quite putrid the next day.—Leicester Journal. RAVAGES OF THE SEA.—At Dover, during the whole of Saturday week, it blew a heavy gale from the 5.W . ., with rain and thick weather. The continental traffic was consequently partially interrupted, while the outward bound vessels and coasters for the westward, were com pelled to take shelter in the Downs and East Bay of Dun geness. Considerable damage has been done to the works at Dover by the extreme violence of the sea, which at high water rolled in with fearful fury, there being a high spring tide. A strong wooden wall, enclosing the offices and workshop Connected with Dover Harbour of Refuge, was completely knocked away, while the wooden frames and other moveable articles of the Lord Warden Hotel were strewed in all directions : but the greatest proof of the resistless force Of the waves (which were at this time making a clean breach over the pier-heads), was, that about a dozen of the iron stanchions, three inches in di anieter, to which the chain railing round the basin within the south pier are attached, were snapped asunder, as if they had been co rcay reeds. To the eastward of the har bour portions of the soil at the extremity of the sea-wall, opposite the Esplanade, were swept away. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sold by the Patentee, 12, Southampton-street, Strand, London. This CHOCOLATE contains the peculiar virtues of the Sassafras Root, which has been long held in great estimation for its purifying and alterative properties. The aromatic quality (which is very grateful to the stomach) most invalids require for breakfast and evening,repast, to promote digestion, and to a deficiency of this property in the customary breakfast and supper, :nay in a gre4measure be attributed the frequency of cases of indigestion-eenerally termed bilious. It has been found highly beneficiarin correcting the state of the digestive organs, &c., from arise many diseases, such as eruptions of the skin„ Out, rheumatism, and scrofula. In cases of debility of the stomach, and a sluggish state-of the liver and intestines, occasioning flatulence, costiveness, &c., and in spasmodic asthma, it is much recommended.

Speaking generally, the public of this town have been too much occupied for the last few weeks with the mani fold occurrences resulting from the present alarming monetary crisis, to devote the usual attention to the an nual election of our local governors. Considerable stir has however been made in the various districts, as is evi denced by the fact that fourteen wards out of the sixteen have been contested—the Radicals bringing fourteen can didates—and this notwithstanding the boastful pretensions of their press, that they are anxious for the exclusion of party politics from the Council chamber. This pretence has been put forward with sickening frequency for the last two or three years, and it so happens that during that period they have offered the greatest and the most vexa tious opposition. This year they have contested, as we have said, fourteen of the wards, and last year they did the same, whilst in 1845 they allowed seven Conservative gentlemen to enter the Council unopposed, and in 1844 six Conservatives were similarly returned. This is not the first time that Radical practice has given the lie to radical profession. Before entering into any detail of the occurrences yes terday, it may be interesting to place before our readers the following state of the poll at the close, in the wards which were last year contested. Wards. Everton .. Majority, 301 W. Atherton Sc W. Walthew . (rt James Holme (c W. Thornhill (R J. G. Morris (c, T. Chalmer R James Stitt John Briscoe I CI James Tyrer c James Mellor (R Pitt-street ..

St. Paul's . Exchange ... 254 - 26 202 159 - 43 171 162 - 9 247 135 - 112 , In two of the wards there was no opposition offered last year to the Conservative candidates. In St. Peter's, Mr. Tinne was allowedlo walk over, as was Mr. G. H. Law rence, for West Derby, and Mr. James Aikin was returned unopposed for Castle-street. On that occasion twelve Conservative members retired, and eleven were returned ; a goodly proportion, certainly, though not quite so grati fying as in some of the previous years. In 1840, twelve Conservatives were returned ; in 1841, thirteen ; in 1842, again thirteen ; in 1843, twelve ; in 1844, thirteen ; and in 1845, ten ; proving that their numerical position in the Council has fluctuated very little for many years, and if we may judge from yesterday's proceedings is not likely to do so for some time to come. The following is as accural cure of the state of the pol wards. We print the reform to a report as we could pro- Ll each hour in the contested ters name, in italics : 2. -SCOTLAND WARD. The candidates for this ward were Mr. Woodruff (a con servative) and Mr. Thompson (reformer). Mr. Woodruff has been a resident in the ward for 15 years, and has there carried on an extensive business. Mr. Woodruff is a man of intelligence ; and, what is more, of character. He be came a member of the Select Vestry, and his praiseworthy and business-like manner and conduct, in arresting extra vagant expenditure, and reforming abuses in parochial management, rendered him a favourite with the public ; and he came forward as a candidate for municipal honours upon the requisition of many gentlemen who were his neighbours, and who could not help appreciating his worth, and encouraging an opinion that he would become a use ful member of the Council. Mr. W. was not ambitious for popular honours, but the call was so urgent that he acceded to the wishes of the constituency. The polling was animated throughout. In the middle of the day, Mr. Woodruff was very considerably ahead of Lis opponent. Towards the close the latter pulled up ; but Mr. W. was, nevertheless, at the 6nale, in a small, but, under the circumstances. a triumphant majority. 3.-VAUXHALL WARD. In this ward there was no contest on this occasion, Mr. William Preston (reformer), who was elected for three years, having again come forward, and, from his high character and standing in the town, meeting with no op position from the Conservatives. The members for the ward, therefore, continue to be Mr. J. G. Morris (yet to serve 2 years) ; Mr. Wm. Rathbone (1 year) ; and Mr. W. Preston (3). Last year, Mr. J. G. Morris, a Conser vative, was elected for this ward by a large majority over Mr. Chalmer, and probably this year the Conservatives would have succeeded had they tried. 4.—ST. PAUL'S WARD. The extreme popularity of Mr. R. B. Hill secured him an increasing majority, during the whole of the day, over his opponent, Mr. Thomas Booth. At the close of the poll Mr. Hill appeared at the window of the committees room, in Earle-street, amidst the loudest demonstrations of applause. In the course of his address to the crowd of electors present, he stated that the majority by which he was returned was the largest that had ever been obtained in all the hard fought contests in that wm.d. The fact that Mr. Hill has been returned after two successive vic tories by the Reformers, must be extremely flattering to him, and proves the high estimation in which he is h e ld in the ward. In 1844 Mr. Hill was returned by a majority of 33 over Mr. Stitt, who, however, succeeded in being elected in 1846. 5. - EXCIIANGE WARD. The polling in this ward was carried on with great ani mation throughout the day,—Mr. Horsfall leaving his opponent, Mr. W. Clare, considerably in the distance, and improving his ground throughout. Towards the close, the respective voters being nearly "used up," Mr. Horsfall's large majority remained stationary for half an hour—he being 73 a-head at three o'clock, and in the same relative position at half-past three o'clock. After this hour a considerable number of voters hastened to Mr. H.'s committee-room to fill up their papers, but many of them, having double ward qualifications, finding his election could not but be secure, declined to vote in that ward, and hurried to some Other where their suf frages were more in requisition. At.tbe close Mr. Hors fall had a majority of 74 having gained one in the con cluding half hour. Great cheering took place in the room at the hour of closing. Shortly afterwards Mr. Robert Horsfall, brother of the electeed member, made his appearance, and was warmly greeted. He said (on being urged to speak), that all he could say was, that he felt extremely obliged to those around him for their exertions, by which they had placed his brother.at the head of the poll.. (Cheers.) "' When Mr. G. H. IIoasPALL (who arrived shortly afterwards) Hero . 1 silence could be obtained, he stated in effect, to the the es song received of , , with se e the enthusiastic Conquering gentlemen in the room, and in a manly and pleasing manner, that he Was happy to avail himself of the first opportunity within his reach of thanking those around him for their strenuous exertions, which had placed him in the proud position of being their representative. To many it might appear astonishing that.he had obtained so large a majority ; but the astonishment would subside when they learned the exertions that had been made in his behalf. In all enterprises success depended mainly on ourselves ; and on'this occasion they had several strong points in their favour. First, they had embarked in a good cause. (Cheers.) Secondly, they had a most efficient band of canvassers; and thirdly, they had at the head of them a consummate general, who led them gallantly to victory—" General Jackson II " (Loud cheers.) Their chairman, too, was Mr. Littleda.le, a gentleman of un doubted influence and activity in forwarding the good cause. (Cheers.) When he presented himself to them as a candidate, he explained the principles upon which he should proceed ; and now that he was elected, unfettered, he was equally willing to pledge himself to support every measure in the Council which would conduce to the interests of the ward, and the town at large. He con cluded, amidst loud cheers, by again sincerely thanking them for the honour, though highly responsible, to which he had been elevated by their kindness and exertions. Mr. JACKSON, secretary of the committee, being com plimented and loudly called for, addressed the meet ing. He felt exceedingly obliged to the gentlemen who had conducted the canvass; and it was no egotism in him to respond to the sentiments so kindly expressed. He himself had no object in view but the good of the town, in promoting Mr. Horsfall's election ; and this feeling ho merely shared with all those around him. He con- . ceived that it was the personal duty of every voter to elect men to the Council who would see that the corpo rate funds were not improperly expended ; who would see, too, that the Corporation Schools were worked out to to their legitimate purpose ; ancl who were fully capa ble of discharging with energy and effect the duties they were called upon to fulfil as their representives. (CheerS.) He had nb,t, himself felt the slightest fatigue from the exert ons Eetad used, for he had been most ably sup ported by those around him. and had been cheered on by their and the candidate's urbane manner and warmth of action. He had heard their worthy representative ex press his opinions on several occasions since he had an nounced himself as a candidate, and he verily believed that he would prove himself one of the most talented members of the Town Council of this town. (Cheers,) He (Mr. Horsfall) had already taken pains to know the wants and wishes of the poorer classes in the ward, and would be glad to learn, at any time, further from them what could. be done for their welfare and advantage. He had personally visited even the poorest streets, with a view to do his utmost in their behalf, and would be glad to communicate with.them, .and to carry into effect what ever might be for the general good. (Cheers.) They would never find him- to break his word. He congratu lated the meeti ng on th e f ac t th a t the ward still sent three Conservatives to represent them, and propose d a vote of. thanks to the canvassers;' *he' had' so nobly done their duty, and tints kept a man out of the Cou n c il wh o , they thought, would do injury to them by his p res e n c e in that assembly. He (the speaker) should . alw ay s be glad to act with men who had so nobly 'stoo d fo r w ard in behalf of their ward on such an occasion. (Loud cheers.) Mr. BvFoan. bein,, ' .0. loudly celled for, .returned thanks on behalf of the canvassers. All had,, he believed done their duty. For himielf , though he was not competent to all that devolved.upon him, he would .say..that his heart was in the cause. He congratulated them on the strong guarantees which they bad. that their representative would ably and faithfully__diseharge his duty towards them, in the stand which his brother had made with respect to the corporation schools, and in his own straightforward and candid conduct throughout the contest. (Cheers.l The meeting then. concluded amidst enthusiastic cheers. (Contiaued in paye 8)
