GENTLEMEN, Y Term of Office, as one of your Representatives in the Town Council, will expire on the Ist November. laving had the honour of being twice elected by you, I have for the last six years zealously endeavoured to discharge the duties of the trust you committed to r.z.e in a faithful and con scient'ous manner, by a regular attendance at the different committees on which I was placed, and in taking an active part i::. their proceedings. lam led to believe that my past conduct has received your approval, from the numerously and influentially signed requisition I have now received, soliciting me to become for the third time a candidate to represent you. Under this impression, I cheerfully comply with your wish; and should you be pleased to confer on me the renewed honour of re-electing me, I can only promise that I shall give the same diligent attention to. the discharge of my duties, and that I shall be influenced alone by a conscientious desire to act, as regards all matters that may come before the Council, to the best of my judgment, for the benefit of my constituents, and the good of the Borough generally. I am, GENTLEMEN, • • Your most obedient Servant, JAMES ROBERTSON.- Peel-street, Toxteth-park, Oct. 20, 1859. TO THE BURGESSES AND ELECTORS OF EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD. GENTLEMEN, AN influential deputation having waited on me to request I would allow myself to be nominated as a Candidate for your Ward at the ensuing Municipal Election, I hdve with much pleasure aceedeA to your request. As a resident for eighteen years in your ward, I feel the strongest interest in its prosperity, as well as that of the town at large ; and should I be so fortunate as to be elected your Representative, you may rely on my best energies being devoted to your s?rvices. My religious and political principles being well known to fon, I need not enlarge on those topics. There is only one other which suggests Itself to me, as one on which you may desire to know my sentiments : that is,, the rating of the docks ; and on this question I have always entertained decided opinions, and can see no valid reason why they should not bear their fair share of local taxation. I have the honsur to remain, G:ntlemen, Your faithful servant, CHAS. FREDK. CARNE. Exchange Alley North, Liverpool, 20th October, 1859, TO THE ELECTORS OF ABEItCEOMBY WARD, GENTLEMEN, THE Period for which I was elected a Councillor for your Ward will shortly expire, and I shoOld not have presumed to offer.myself again to your notice, had I not been , solicited to do so by a deputation from a highly-respectable body of Electors. I may be excused being flattered by this compliment having been paid to me, and I accede to their wishes with pleasure. The kindness of my brother townsmen has been the cause of bringing me so, frequently before the public, that my opinions are sufficiently well known, without its being necessary for me to enter into any explanation respect ing them on the present occasion. - I have always been a strenuous advocate for a Comprehensive Improve nent of the Borough, so that its thoroughfares may be rendered more convenient for the business transactions of the public, and its dwellings more comfortaele and healthy for the Labouring Classes, - whose occupations compel them to reside within its boundary. Above all other improvements, I should like to see such approaches made to our Piers and Landing-stages as would render them safe awl commodious to the public, and an ornament to our existing dock works. At, present they are in a state dangerous to all pedestrian., and a disgrace to our noble port. Lt is high time that the Mersey Docks and Herb , ur Board and the Town Council should take 'this matter into their serious onsideraion, with the view of -effecting this loudly-called-for improvement. • The Mersey Docks and Harbour Board have proposed a pliin for facilitating the transit of merchandise and cattle across the river, and a most judicious step it is ; but why has not some thought been bestowed on the convenience and safety of millions of numan beings who cross the Mersey in the course of the year? The facility given to the transit of merchandise and Lattle will, of course, increase the danger and difficult,i,ps of whic'e. the public so justly . complain. I defy the art of Min to devise aily plan for forming a really good and un objectiOna - Ae appro.icii to the river, without the sacrifice tie George's Dock Rasta. The scheme is chiefly opposed, I believe, by the shipowners, under . the .erroneous impre. sion that it would be injurious the docking of their vessels. I use the term "erronenus '? because I have high authority for stating that. the dreaded hijary is imaginary, rather than real. Let those eminent engineers, the Messrs. Hartley, who have shown such wonderful talent and ingenuity in the construction of our dock works, be directed to design a plan upon the pri•eciple I have suggested, and I will answer for it that every difficulty will vanish, excepting that, perhaps, of providing the funds to meet the' expenditure; bUt I should be sorry to think that, with our boasted commercial spirit and enterprise, even this difficulty may not be overcome. If the Electors do me the lonour of sending me again into the Council Chamber as their Representative, I shall support, to the utmost of my power, as I hive ever done, those measures which may appear to me best calculated to promote the welfare and happiness of the vast and busy community in which we live.—l am, with much respect, Gentlemen, your faithfu' humble Servant; WILLIAM EARLE Abereromby-square, Bth October, 1859.

In resigning my trustinto your hands, I can with confidence refer to my past conduct as a proof that I have not been influenced by any party feeling, but solely actuated, in the discharge of my onerous duties, through a desire to maintain, in their fullest integrity, the rights of my consti tuents. ---- Should you again place me in the prowl position which • I have heretofore held, I will endeavour steadfastly to pursue that coulee of procedure which has given so much satisfaction to you, and whick, by your desire, I w ish f u lly to maintain, and carry out judiciously all the necessary requirements of the ratepayers. • I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your faithful ard obe dient servant, JOHN SHIMMIN. 150, Islington, Liverpool, Ist October, 1859.

I nace no hesitation in avowing myself friendly to those political principles which, while avoiding rash and hasty changes, would carefully reform every proved abuse in the State ; and if elected to a seat in the Municipal Council of my native town, I should endeavour faithfully to carry out the same views in relation to our local affairs, while I would do so in no party spirit, acting to the best of my judgment for the good of the whole communit e. I would advocate a strict economy in the management and disposal of the finances of the Corporation. I would support the formation of public parks accessible to the population of the several wards, and am favourable to 'el, measure conducive to the health and well-being of the people. ....did you do me the honour to elect me as 0n..: of your representatives in the Town Council, I would endeavour to the best of my ability to discharge the hnportant duties which would in that event devolve upon me.—l am, gentlemen, your faithful servant, SAMUEL CEARNS, Chapel-street, Liverpool, Sept. 30, 1859. runitigat gration.

THOMAS BR 9NCH, Chairman. Vice-president WILLIAM HAND, and Treasurer. J. B. LEATIIERBARROW, 1 Hon. Secretaries. T. H. SATCHELL, TO THE BURGESSES OF LIME-STREET WARD. GENTLEMEA, HE period of my delegated trust as your representati v e in the Town Council is about to expire. A de p utation o your body has done me the honour to wait upon me with a view to its renewal. With pleasure I accept their invitation and deem .t therefore no less a privilege than a &Ay to addres a few words to you on the occasion. Whether they shall be parting wcrds, or merely preliminary to a continuance of our connection as constituents and representative, is a question for your sole decision. My conduct as a member of the Town Council for the last three years, is before you. It is for you to decide 'how far that conduct has exceeded or fallen short of your expectations. But this' I think I may venture to say—all that I promised, when, in compliance with a numerously-signed requisition, I placed my services at your disposal, has been zealously and faithfully performed: What I under ook to do, if you con ferred upon me the honour of representing you, was simply to .diseliarge the important duties thereby devolving upon me to the best of my ability. Perhaps I may be allowed to add, without incurring the charge of presumption, that even ysur opponents and mine cannot deny that this pledge has been fully redeemed. Should there be, however, any doubt on this point, I shall be happy to render the fullest possible account of my steward ship, whenever and wherever the opportunity is afforded. • The matters to which I alluded three years ago, when, at your request, I • ffered myself as a candidate for your suffrages; have certainly not diminished in importance ; nor do they re quire less unremitting attention on the part cf your represen tatives. The Town Dues question has been settled, ;f not exactly as we could have wished, and as justice demanded, still in a man ner far short of absolute confiscation. The part I took in effecting a compromise, when nothing less than such spoliation was sought by some of our envious opponents in the neigh bouring towns, is known to you all. For property held by as good a right as that on which some of our assailants enjoy their private estateswe have obtained some compensation, thou gh by no means an equivalent. This question having been thus settled, it seems to me a matter worthy of consideration, ,, whether we should not now endeavour to come to some similar arrangement with re spect to the River Weaver Tolls, which are so heavy a burden on one important branch" of the trade of Liverpool. These Tolls are far in excess of what is necessary to maintain the navigation, and the surplus is applied to county purposes. This may be a very convenient arrangement for Cheshire landed proprietors, who seldom have to pay a county-rate of more than a penny in the pound, but it is not exactly in confor mity with the principle on which they assailed the Liverpool Town Dues. The precise information !relative to the Corporate Estate, ordered to be furnished on the motion of Mr. Robertson Glad stone, of the non-compliance with which order, after a lapse of twelve months, I complained three years ago, has not yet been supplied. It is most important•that, wherever the hitch lies, and whatever may be the motive for withholding it, this infor mation should be forthcoming ; and should you again return me to the Council, .I will continue to use my best exertions to obtain it. I have endeavoured, as you are aware, to prevent the adop tion of a new mode of disposing of Corporate property, which I consider most unjust to the present ratepayers, since it infl , ,cts upon them increased taxation for the benefit of pos terity entirely uncalled for; and, failing in this attempt, at least to insure publicity and fair competition on all occasions ofsale or lease, so as to obtain the best possible terms for the public, and prevent even the suspicion of collusion and jobbery. The importance of this question can hardly be over-rated. With proper administration of the Corporate Estate, annually increasing in value, and judicious economy in expenditure, I believe there will be no necessity for a borough rate ; but that, otherwise, it will be unavoidable. Although a complete separation between the Corporate and Dock Estates has been effected, the interests of the two are, and must ever be, so interwoven, that a member of the Town Council, anxious to do his duty, will always have to keep a watchful eve on the proceedings of ,the Dock Board; and the Council-Chamber is certainly the place in which he should direct the public attention to these proceedings whenever he considers it necessary so to do. Ard this duty has become all the more important since the transfer of its jurisdiction from the Corporation to a body of gentlemen, many of whom have no interest in the permanent welfare of either estate. The time may not be far' distant when some determined stand against the extravagant expenditure of a body so con stituted will be necessary, and especially on the part of the owners of fixed property, Who are the persons most interested in the proper management of the Dock Estate. Should such necessity arii,e, I trust that I shall never be foune: wanting, either as your representative, or, if that honour be denied me, as a simple member of this great community very largely in terested in its welfare. Being firmly convinced, after much inquiry and serious reflection, that the rating of the Dock Estate, and all other public properly, towards 'the support of the poor, is a measure recommended not less by its justice than by its expediency, I need hardly assure you that I shall persevere in the use of my best efforts to accomplish that object, in whatever way they may seem to be most likely to be available. In conclusion, gentlemen, I venture to hope that no further exposition of my se - itiments or intentions will be deemed neces sary from me in this address. At your Ward Meetings, I shall be happy to afford any other explanation which may be required. For the present, therefore, I will only say that what you have found me in the past, you will, if you think fit to renew my trusteeship, 'find me in the future,—a zeal•us and painstak ing friend and advocate of every measure calculated, in my judgment, to promote the prosperity of the town and port, and the general wellbeing of the inhabitants. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, yours, very respectfully. JAS. R. JEFFEItY. Compton-house, October 3, 1859. TO THE BURGESSES OF ST. ANNE'S WARD.' , GENTLEMEN, Ahave been waited upon by an influential deputation of your body with a requisition, most numerously signed, inviting me to become a CANDIDATE for the Representatit, of your Ward in the Town Council, at, the ensuing Municipal Election. The clearly expressed opinion of so large a number of the Electors, relieves me of any diffidence I might otherwise h eve felt in assuming such a responsible position; I therefore cheerfully comply with the request, and at once place myself in your hands. Should it be your pleasure to elect mess one of our Represen tatives, my best efforts shall be directed to the promotion of every measure, having for its object the weifare of the Ward and the good of the community at large. I am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, .OEO, NICKSON. 16, Canterbury-street, Islington, 30th Sept., 1859. TO THE BURGESSES OF PITT-STREET WARD. GENTLEMEN, ARequisition, numerously signed, has been presented to me, inviting me to allow myself to be nominated as a CANDIDATE to represent your interests in the Town Council. I feel deeply sensible of the honour, and ,most cheerfully accede to that request, consulering it both a duty and a priv lege to endeavour to fulfil a public trust when called upon in a constitutional manner. If, therefore, it be your pleasure to elect me as your representative, it will be my anxious study to discharge the duties of that important and responsible position in such a manner as to promote the welfare of the whole community. The enforcement of sanitary regulations, the improvement of the dwellings of the poor, increasing the number and extent of parks and playgrounds for the people, shall have my earnest support. But, as a preliminary step to all these important questions, and in order that the Council and also the people of •Liverpool may know what means there are for the accoMplishment of these great. Works, I will join most heartily in the efforts to obtain an edfly and Complete state ment of the nature and extent of the corporate estate. This, I think, is one of the first duties to which the attention of your re,presentat'ves ought to be directed. If returned to the Council it N. Al be my sole object, to the best of my ability, to see that the public resources are exclusively and efficiently employed for the public good. Keeping this principle in view, I may state that the widening of Park-lane and the improvement of Cleveland square Market shall have my earliest and best attention. Being a large ratepayer in the ward, my interests, I may be permitted to say, are bound up with yours, and if I can serve you and the town at large, I shall be happy to do so.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, JAMES STEEL. 78, Duke -street, Oct. 8, 1859. 1 PITT-STREET WARD, MITE COMMITTEE for conducting the ELECTION of JAMES STEEL, Esq., meet Every Evening, at Seven o'clock, at the VINE TAVERN, Pitt-street.

WILLIAM EVANS, TO TIIE ELECTORS OF PITT-STREET WARD, GENTLEISEN, t HAVE been honoured with a. Requisition, most numerously and respectably signed, by persons holding iii erent religious and political opinions, requesting that I would allow myself to be again put in nomination at the iffisuing Municipal Eleetioa, on the Ist of November, to represent you in the Town Council. To that retpiest I most cheerfully comply. It is nearly nine years since ycat first elected me, during which period 1 have endeavoured to promote ar.d support such measures as to the best of my judgment would conduce to the welfare of your im portant Ward, and the Town in general, Should I have the honour of being re-elected as one of 'your Representatives, my utmost exertions shall be used, not only in endea.Vor ring to have the Improvements that have been commenced in this Ward brought to a satisfactory completion, but also to carry out other isaprovements that are much needed. Thanking you for the confidence so long reposed in me, I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant, WALTER P. JEFFREYS. St. James's-terrace, St. James's-road, Octuher 12, 1859. JOHN RIGBY, Cliaiamul. JOHN RIMMER., elmirman. WILLIAM GARDNER, u „ . RICHARD LEE, B,tintiripar artrtiotT. TO THE FREE AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF LIME-STREET WARD. GENTLEMEN, 'F[AVING received a Requisition numerously and respectably signed ; to allow myself to be put in nomina tion as a Candidate for your suffrages at the approaching Muni cipal Election, I, on public grounds, do not hesitate to respond to that appeal, feeling assured that the constituency of this important Ward will be rejoiced to have this opportunity of freeing itself from the thraldom of Radicalism, and shaken; orf the yoke of the Compton-House demagogue. I will not presume to folliw the example of my vain-glorious opponent by lauding myself to the skies, or endeavourinit to gull you into the belief that I have been the saviour and regenerator of Liverpool, although it is a notorious fact tint he, and. his twin brother in all political jobs, were; by their uncalled-for interference, the means of depriving the people of Liverpool bf half a million of money. I will, however, promise you, that I will devote my time and energies towards ameliorating the condition of the working classes, by sanitary and other measures ;—also, carefully watch over the appropriation of the corporate funds, avoiding, on the one hand, that niggardly parsimony that would cut down the poor man's wages, and, on the other hand, that wild and reckless extravagance which has so often cha racterised the acts of our public men, in dealing with the pub lic purse. I intran advocate for the Rating of the Docks, as I consider they ought to bear their proper share of the burdens of the Town. There are many other subjects of local and general interest which it would be tedious to dwell upon within the limits of an address, and as I shall have many opportunities of personally appearing before you between now and the day of Election, I shall be glad to enter more fully into my political and general opinions. In the meantime, I leave myself in your hands, and be assured that, if you do me the honour of electing me as your Representative, I shall use my beat exe.tions in your behalf, and that of the town in general. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, JOHN WILSON. West Derby-street, Vverroql, 21st October. 1850. TO. THE ELECEOUS OF Sr. AINNE'S WAH.O. GENTLEMEN, • Ihave been asked by a most' influential deputation from your ward to allow myself to be placed in nomina tion for the seat in the Council abut to be vacated by your I respected member, Mr. Mellor. After consulting with friends upon whose judgment I can rely, I have determined on placing my services at your disposal. if you elect me, I shall go into the Council Chamber deter mined, so far as may lie in my power, to promote the interests not only of this ward, but of the town at large. By a judicious but considerable retrenchment of our borough expenditure, I believe that the taxes levied upon your earn ings may be diminished, and the imminent risk of additional burdens averted. To a business-like and proper management of our vast cor porate property it will be admitted that a knowledge of what it is, and where it is situated, is required. •The production of the return ordered at the instance of Mr. Gladstone, three years ago, is still delayed, and ought at once to be placed in the hands of every member of the Council. ' Now that the dock property is separated by act of Parlia ment from the corporate estate, I can see no reason why it should not be subject to the same rates as all other property. On the 9th of November I shall, if returned by you, be called upon to take part in the election of eight gentlemen as alder men of the borough. I will on that occasion, while exercising my independent judgment as to who are the best fitted to rzeeive so marked a distinction, endeavour to secure such a distribution of the aldermanic honours as to leave no doubt upon the mind of any one that "honour" kas been given "to whom honour is due." _ _ . I shall support the extension of education, as it alone can enable a man to fulfil the duties of his station honourably in whatever position of life he may be. I shall endeavour, by advocating the establishment of public parks cod playgrounds, to diminish the temptations to intem perance and crime. In a few months the noble gift of our fellow-townsman, Mr. William Brown, is to be thrown open to the public, and will form a laiting ornament to your ward. I hope soon, too, to see ab. anch of the Liverpool Savings Bank established in this part of the town, convinced that 3 extension of the means of mental culture by the Free Library will be followed here, as elsewhere, by a marked moral and physical improvement. It will be my pleasure, if returned to the Council, to support some of the schemes of borough improvements which have been so ably advocated by Mr. William Earle, especially so far as they relate to the approaches to our noble river, those being at present not only dangerous to the public, but a disgrace to the town. - I hope to have many other opportunities of addressing you, of which I shall take advantage to make known my views upon all subjects of public interest in reference to which you may wish an expression of my opinion. I will only add that if I can be of any service to my native town---the town in which my respected father ministered for nearly 20 year, and over which nly grandfather presided as chief m?.gistrate upwards of half a century ago—it *ill be more than a recompense to me for any exertions I may be called upon to make in your behalf. . I remain; gentlemen, yours very faithfully, CLARKE ASPINALL. 3, Union-coUrt, Castle-street, Liverpool. twfn o TO THE ELECTORS OF EXCHANGE WARD, GP:NTT:F.4I3N, HAVING r'cerved a requisition very numerously signed by electors of the ward, of all parties, inviting me to become a candidate for re-election as one of your repre sentatives in the Municipal Council, I have much pleasure in acceding to the request. My long connection with the ward renders it unnecessary for me to make any declaration of my sentiments, which are well known to you. Should you do me the honour of re-electing me, my best exertions shall be used to promote your interest, and the general welfare of the town. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, Dingle-halt, Oct., 1858. • - - CHARLES TURNER. TO THE BURGESSES OF GREAT GEORGE WARD. GENTLEMEN, HAVIN G received from a highly influential Depu tation an invitation to become a Candidate for the Ward, I beg to place my: elf in your hands ; and this I do with greater pleasure, as I have been connected with the Ward from my earliest years. If elected, I shall give my attention, as far as lies in my power, not only to local wants, such as completing what have been for so many years serious grievances—the approaches to Park-lane, the alterA7tion of Cleveland-square Market, &c.,--- but also to what ig of still more importance, the economical administration of the Corporate Funds; and feeling, as I do, that one of the most necessary steps to that end is to have a full and clear statement of the Corporate Property, I shall feel bound to s , ,tpport any party who may endeavour to obtain that important object. I shall have great pleasure in supporting any measure for providing Public Parks or Playgrounds. lam of opinion that these, to be useful, must be as near to the town as possible ; and that, as far as the south end of the town is concerned, the fields adjoining Parliament-street are the most eligible site available. Hoping, if elected, to merit that confidence and kindly feel ing which I have so largely experienced hitherto, I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant, JOHN HAYS WILSON. 79, Upper Parliament-street, Liverpool, September 22nd, 1859. TO THE BURGESSES OF EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD, GENTLEMEN, J3Y Lapse of time, my occupancy- of the honourable e and responsible position to which you generously elected me three years ago as one of your Representatives in the Town Council is about to terminate. In reviewing my humble services during that period, whether in committee or in council, I can confidently say that I have at least faithfully aad honestly endeavoured on all questions affecting either the interest of the town in general, or yaur ward in particular, to act up to my. convictions of duty disin terestedly, impartially, and to the best of my judgment. Whether these endeavours have satisfied your reasonable expectations, and desires is a question solely for your decision. If permitted to form an opinion from the requisition which I have now had the honour to receive, so numerously signed by persons of all shades of opinion, desiring me again to permit myself to be nominated, I am certainly encouraged to believe that the mode in which my duties leave been dis charged has been satisfactory to the large majority of the constituents. Under any other conviction than this I should have hesi tated to accede to the flattering wish now expressed, and shrunk from again seeking the suffrages of those whose good will I might unhappily have lost. Having no self interested ends to serve, I yield to a sense of duty, and in placing myself again in your hands I beg to assure you that, should it be your pleasure to re-elect me, my best energies shall continue to be devoted to the protection and promotion of your interests, with the advantage of a more enlarged and practical acquaintance with your varied wants than I could boast when you formerly gaveme your confidence.
