A public meeting of the friends of Mr. Carne was held ,yesterday evening, in the Saddle Inn, Scotland road. Mr. James Burroughs in the chair. The meeting was very numerously attended, the large room being crammed ; and amongst those present we observed C. Carne, Esq. ; Alderman Dover, Alderman Bennett, Councillors John Shimmin and D. Crosthwaite, Messrs. J. Longton, E. Whitley, H. Lafone, T. Brakell, H. Edmondson, H. Penis, jWatson, E. Williams, Branch, Brown, White, Pattison, Hatch, M‘Knight, Livsey, Blundell, Rothwell, &c., &e. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Burroughs) said—gentlemen, you will excuse me for not entering into any lengthened remarks, or detaining you further than to introduce to you my friend Mr. Carne—(cheers),—and I am sure you will receive hire; as he hv.s always been received - in this ward. (Great cheering.) Mr. CARNE (who on rising, was received with tre mendous applause) said that lie had already had the pleasure of addressing the electors of this ward on so . many former occasions, that little was left for him to say, but what was in some measure a repetition of his former remarks. At the same time he had great . pleasure in presenting himself - before them on that occasion ; and he sincerely hoped that he would be able to satisfy them, if, indeed, he had not already done so, that he had done right in coming forward at-this time, in conformity with the request of many gentlemen in whose judgment he, and the electors also, had confidence. (Cheers.) Those gentlemen believed that he (Mr. Came) was better qualified to represent them in the Council than his opponent, Mr. Clarke Aspinall, who,, in short, was not one in whom they could place confi dence as A representative. (Cheers.) Mr. Came then recapitulated the grounds upon which he rested his claims to their support ; as a merchant for many years, and latterly as a warehouse-keeper, and as a very large ratepayer in Scotland Ward. (Great applause.) In ,regard to the question of the cottage-owners, after going into some details, he stated he would, if returned to the Connell, be prepared to give a fair and reasonable con sideration to their claims. (Cheers.) Mr. Carne then expressed his views in favour of the rating of the docks, as it would greatly relieve the ratepayers of Liverpool, while it could make no perceptible increase on the rates on goods. (Cheers.) Another important subject was that of the widening of the streets—(ap plause)—one attended with many difficulties, but which, he thought, deserved immediate and serious attention. One point on, which he might, make one or two remarks was that of .the loss of the town-dues—a catastrophe brought about through the efforts of the Radicals (groans), and such compensation as had been obtained, was' owing to the efforts of the' Conservatives, (cheers) nobly, backed by their friend Lord, Derby' (immense and prolonged cheering)—by Lord Derby and the House of Lords (renewed .and, enthusiastic applause)—and therefore in this town at least; 'and in this ward especially, the Conservatives ought, on thii, among other grounds, to receive the preference Over the Radicals, who had so fir countenanced and assisted those depredators who had deprived the town of the dock duos, and even prevented them, by unauthorised interference in' the negotiations, from outatumg - t 1 iii. 'l Itta s -a ....-- —.4 -4' ...vasz in. - a itsa Litni than they had done. (Great applause). So that, upon the whole, and considering his long experience in . business, his business habits, the time which he had it in his power to devote to their service—and the faithful perfOrmance of the • duties of their iepresentative' de manded much time' and anxious -consideration— and the tolerable facility he had in expressing his views 'plainly and intelligibly on any subject,- he hoped he was justified in coming forward. On refer ring to the subje c t o f th e ." clocks," there were loud cries of satisfaction with t.le ample explanations already offered. Mr. Came stated that a friend—one of the Liberals—whom he met that afternoon, had assured him that all parties were perfectly satisfied on this point; but that the topic had been introduced only because,4 was one which formed a suitable election cry, and nothing more ; and this was from one of the Libe rals, therefore he would say nothing more on that score. Mr. Came then repeated the explanations already ei•em e party disapproving of given of 'his views on the subject of the s ch oo l s , deci dedlyxtd, selling them as some of the Radicals had suggested. He again begged to thauk the electors for the warm reception he had invariably 'received in 'the • ward, and if they thought he had, from ex'p'erience and direct interest, superior claims to those of his opponent, he trusted they would show their confidence in him by being as early as Possible at the poll—as he believed he had lost in the form er contest 'in' Everton Ward owing to the importance of being very early' at the poll having on the occasion been overlooked. "(On concluding, three most hearty cheers, and one 'cheer more, were given by the then densely crowded audience—the enthusiasm, as well as the numbers, exceeding anything yet 'witnessed' in connection with the . contest.) Alderman 'Dovitn rose, and was received with load and prolonged Cheers. He' said, the following reseln- rne tioa was'p a t i nt o his hand, which was, " I n conseen of the ele va ti on of Mr. Woodruff to au aldermanie chair,-, I heg to p ropose C. F.

"DEAR Sin,—The committee for conducting the elec tion of Clarke Aspinall, Esq., intend breakfasting to gether at the Travellers' Rest, Scotland-road, on Friday morning, at seven o'clock. As a member of that com mittee, if it be convenient and agreeable, you are re quested to attend.—l am, dear sir, yours respectfully, JOHN WALKER, Chairman." He thought there was nothing wrong in following the example set them, and as they intended to have several committee meetings, he hoped as many as might find it convenient would breakfast with him, at the Castle Inn, at seven o'clock in the morning. The meeting terminated amid the most enthusiastic cheers. SECOND MEETING OF MR. CARNE'S FRIENDS.. Another meeting of Mr. Carne's friends was held at nine o'clock, in the Fleece Inn, Scotland-road ; Mr. Watson presided, in consequence of Mr. Burroughs being obliged to leave on private business. The CHAIRMAN , in opening the meeting, said the time was short. He had much pleasure in introducing Mr. Came ; for if an honest man existed, that man was Mr. Came. He had often said that Scotland Ward was a new Liverpool in embryo, and, therefore, they ought to elect a man who was acquainted with the town. He would, without further delay, introduce Mr. Came. Mr. CARNE ? who was greeted with immense applause, said that he had already addressed meetings six times with the last four days, and though it was not easy to vary the matter each lime, but, as there were many here who had never heard him before, he felt he was under obligation to state to them his opinions, and the grounds on which he asked their con fidence. He held large premises in Scotland Ward, and paid large rates upon them, he was therefore interested in reducing the rates ; and if they returned him to the Council, he would endeavour to keep them as low as was compatible with drainage and good sanitary and other arrangements. There was one object to which he wished to refer. It had long been felt a great want that there was no road from this part' of the town to the docks ; but the present condition of the financial affairs of the corporation would not permit any thing to be done in it. The town no longer draws a large revenue from the town dues, and though the corporation had received what was said to be compensation for their loss, it behoved them to use it with discretion. -In the affair of the town dues, he believed he had somewhat against their opponents, not so much against the Liberals of Liverpool, who, in common with the Conservatives, , fought for the retention of the dues ; but, he would say, that they owed the loss to the Liberals of the country. He did not wish to detain them longer, and would only say, if they elected him their representative,' he had both the time and inclination to attend to the necessary duties. Whatever may be the result of the poll, he will always remember with pleasure the reception he had re ceived in this ward. (Cheers.) Mr. SHIMMIN, who wAs loudly cheered, said, after the clear explanation given by Mr. Carne, it would be Out of place for him to detain the meeting by a long speech, but would at once proceed with the duty imposed upon him, which was to propose the following resolution : " That, in consequence of the' elevation of Mr. Woodruff t v o .,, a i n n.a ald p e li r i tan . ic w ch r a e ir p6 s C e . nt F thi cal s ne ' largeEasncid" ais fl u fi e t n t and ial constituency in the Town Council." Mr. OCCLESTON seconded the motion, which, on heing, put to the meeting, was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedings. MEETING OF MR. CLARKE . ASPINALL'S FRIENDS.--LAST NIGHT. A meeting of the friends of this gentleman was held last night, in the Nightingale Concert 7 rooms, Bevington -hill. The proceedings took place at eight o'clock, and previous to that hour the hall was densely filled. The feeling on the occasion, in Mr. Aspinall's favour, was most enthusiastic, and on entering the hall he was greeted with deafening plaudits, which he duly acknow ledged. Mr. Walker occupied the chair. On the platform we observed Messrs. Alderman Woodruff, J. J. Stitt, T. Avison, Corbally, :Thomas Leicester, James Hobbs, Joseph Sheppard, John Blizard, S. Higginson, 3. , Worship T. 5. -Hughes S. Frazer ? . P. S. Bidwell, R; OuAins, W. Brumfitt, Isaac Glover,' Clarke, Crilly, Drew, 'Lewis; Levy, Murdock, &c., &c. ' The CHAIRMAN, after a few prefatory remarks, intro duced Mr. Aspinall zo the meeting as their future repre'; sentativb.for Scotland Ward. Mr. ASraNALL, on rising, was recived with much applause. He said he. was proud of suc h a demonstra tion 4fmeetings the electors inpub w li e 6 r - e h ous present. es; and he might ( "ay that out of' the ward, he was sure the great majority .0 0 i e n i ec h t is o rs fa i v n o t u h r e ; it H h e ol d e- e a p n re d c - a c te orn d e h r holding meetings in public-houses; in a hole-and-corner way• but in fact, he thought Mr. Carne's friends transacted all their electioneering " business in their gabs. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Aspinall then went on at great length to di'ate upon the speeches of Mr. Carne,, which had appeared in the Northern Dail y• Times, and that semi-theological publication, the aurier, hi .h latter newspaper said' that he should "go to erie;l until his'beard grew." Having referred to the ,;topping of the clocks, he denounced the late Derby banquet as a Tory humbug demonstration. It had been stated that he was a papist—that he denied, as he was the son of a rector, whose living had been ,begtOw'ed NORTHERN DAILY 1.131&,. great satisfaction that the status quo will be , maintained, and the right to the island solemnly and. coolly discussed either in London or . Wash. ington. BOLOGNA.- ABOLITION OF THE INQUISITION. The following dispatch, dated Paris, Noir.' 16, is also from the Post:—" The Government of Parini has published a decree suppressing the tribunal of the Inquisition, as incompatible with modern civilization. Such proceedings as those in the case of Mortara, therefore, cannot again occur in Bologna. RUSSIA. _ ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 16. There are, six degrees of frost, Reamur. The gulf between St. Petersburg and Cronstadt was full of frost, and communication was stopped. The supply of tallow for year was 88,364. The rate Of discount at St. Petersburg ranges from 7 to 8L per cent., and at Moscow, from 12 2 to 15. ThE obligations of the Grand Russian railways, which recently stood at 102, have decreased to 931. -All other securities equally depressed. DR. SMETHURST. A free pardon, under the Great Seal, was re ceived, on Tuesday, for the prisoner, to the crime of wilful murder upon Isabella Bankes. Dr. Smethurst is now, therefore, merely in the posi tion of a prisoner under committal upon a charge of bigamy. The utmost punishment that can be awarded for this crime is, penal servitude for four years. It appears, from a letter addressed by the Home Secretary to the Lord Chief Baron, that the medical points of the case were referred to Sir B. Brodie. Sir G. Lewis says the necessity for advising a free pardon has arisen from the im perfection of medical science and fallibility of judgment, in an obscure malady, even of skilful and experienced medical practitioners. There was doubt, and the convict got the benefit of it. The Times, in a leader, endeavours to show that war between England and America is im possible. The Bishop of Oxford has presented £5OO to the new Oxford and Cambridge Central African Mission. The Herald, in a leader, has some carping remarks on Mr. Sergeant Pigott and the Wake field Election Commission. A correspondent of the Times suggests that the age of forty, instead of thirty-five, should be the limit of age for the Royal Naval Volunteers. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. upon his - fathee.by her Majesty. He then descanted upon the speeches of Messrs. Lafone, Brakell, and Dreaper. It . was said that he was opposed tto the religious education carried out in the Corporation schools —that he also denied. He referred to Mr. J. B. Lloyd, and his toryism. . If ever there was a man like a Tory, it was Mr. Lloyd. (Laughter.) Mr. Aspinall then went on to state what he would do if they elected him; and called upon 'them to be early at the poll, and show the Tories that they would elect a man who was ready to support pro gress, and give bread to the millions. (Cheers.) The Tories had kept the great Roman Catholic body in slavery until they could not help but emancipate them. He called upon. them not to go back to those days of barbarism, previous to the days of that great states man, Sir Robert Peel. If they elected him he would do his duty, and put a stop to the celebrated clock stopp er . He would not, if elected, be guilty of thirtyyears' inutility. Mr. Aspinall sat down amidst loudapplause.—Alderm an Woodruff then addressed the meeting at great length, and was followed by Mr, Stitt.—Mr. Corbally next spoke, and was followed by Mr. George Mellev, who said that Mr. Aspinall would go into the Council ; and, if they wanted his opinion of Mr. Aspinall, he would say that he was a jolly good fellow. (Loud cheers and laughter.) He would, under every circumstance, recommend a Liberal before a Conservative. Let them fight this battle well, more particularly as it was a winning one. (Cheers.) The 'Tories wore their clothes very loosely, and they fitted uncommon badly. He called upon them to-mor row to do their work well, in the old Liberal style. The following resolution was then moved by Mr. Kennedy : " That this meeting, actuated by the truthful dasire to return a good and efficient man to represent the interests of this ward in the Town Council; and, believing that Clarke Aspinall, Esq. is such a man, pledges itself to use every exertion to secure his unmistakable return." Mr. Lewis Levy seconded the resolution, and said that every Jew would vote for Mr. Aspmall. He (Mr. Levy) called upon them to do their work well, and sat down by seconding the resolution, which, having been put, was carried by acclamation. A vote of thanks having been passed to the, Chairman, the meeting broke up at half-past ten o'clock, by giving three hearty cheers for Mr. Aspinall. COURT AND OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. The Queen had a dinner party on Tuesday, which included several distinguished personages, to meet the Prince and Princess Frederick William of Prussia. _ Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Mary took leave of her Majesty, and left Windsor for Kew, attended by Lady Geraldine Somerset, and Lieut. Colonel Purves. The following visitors have also taken their de parture :—The Duchess of Wellington, the Count de Lavradio (Portuguese Minister), the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, Earl and Countess Spencer, and Major-General Wylde. The_Countess of Derby and Lady Emma Stanley have arrived in St. James's Square, prom Knowsley Hall. His lordship remains at Knowsley. Bryan Edwards, Esq., chief justice of Jamaica, has received the honour of knighthood. Meetings of the Cambridge University Commissioners were held on Tuesday, the Bth, Wednesday, the 9th, Thursday, the 10th, Friday, the 11th, Monday, the 14th, and Tuesday, the 15th instant. The commissioners present were—the Bishop of Chester, Lord Stanley, M.P., the Right Hon. Sir Lawrence Peel, and the Rev. Dr. Vaughan. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. The Bishop of St. Asaph held a confirmation at Hawarden Church on Sunday last, when 115 partici pated in the rite, The Oxford and Cambridge Mission to Central Africa has just received a magnificent donation of £5OO, from the Bishop of Oxford, with a promise of a sub scription for five years of £2O, both on condition that the resolutions are carried out in their integrity. The mission has also received two other donations of £lOO each, but scarcely one-seventh part of the sum required has been as yet subscribed. The Marquis of Cholmondeley presided, on Monday, at the meeting of the Chester branch of the Church Missionary Society ; and among the speakers were the Marquis of Westminster and the Rev. Canon Stowell. A second meeting was held in the evening, when-the Bishop of Chester occupied the chair. The Hereford Cathedral restoration is still being steadily and satisfactorily pursued; but the chapter, after 18 years' work, and the expenditure of nearly double as many thousand pounds, have borrowed money. £13,000 is the utmost sum they can raise in this way to be repeid in 30 years, whilst much more will be required to approach completion of the pro posed repairs ; the chapter, therefore, still solicit sub scriptions in aid of the work. The restoration of the north transept is approaching completion externally. The Birmingham Hospital having been pronounced in debt to the amount of between £3,000 and £4,000, the Rev. Dr. Miller, rector of the Old Parish Church, proposed the setting apart the collections of a given Sunday in all the places of worship in the town for the purpose of liquidating the liabilities. This was done last Sunday ; and the returns already made show a sum total so raised of £3,743. In some instances, new annual subscriptions are included, but not in all. The new annual subscriptions amount to £219. s#orting Auttilignut. SHREWSBIIRY RACES.-YESTERDAY. The MONKMOOR HANDICAP, 3 sow; each, with a piece of 1 1 3 plate added.
