I therefore place myself in your hands, and if re-elected will, to the best of my ability, faithfully attend to your in terests in the Town Council. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful servant, WALTER P. JEFFREYS. Price-street, October 22d, 1853- TO THE ELECTORS :OF GT. GEORGE WARD. GENTLEMEN,—Having received a requisition most numer ously and influentially signed, requesting me to allow myself to be put in nomination on 'lst November, as a CANDIDATE to represent your ward in the Townrouncil, I at once comply with your request, and place my services at your disposal. I cannot feel otherwise than highly flattered by the unsought for and unexpected compliment you have been pleased to pay me. Should I have the honour to be 'elected, it will be my desire to give my best attention to the general interest of the Town, especially to those improvements which are at present occupy ing much of the public mind, end more particularly those connected with your Ward, hewing, at the same time, a due regard to economical expenditure of the Corporate Funds for such purpose. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant, ALEXANDER SHAND. Elm Cottage, Toxteth-park, Oct. 22, 1853. TO THE BURGERaS OF LIME-STRITLT WARD. _ _ GENTLEMEN,-1 accept the invitation, which I have bad the honour to receive from a-numerous and influential body of the Electors of the Ward, to become a Candidate sit 'the approaching Election, fora-seat in the Town Council, nature of your Representatives. The subject which at this period more particularly engages the attention of the Council and the Inhabitants of the Borough, is, the Improvements of the Town. 1 believe that no part of the communit is more interested in this c l uettion than yourselves; not only from the central position of your Ward, but oil account of its possessing so many places of public resort, viz;:—the Theatres, the Concert Hall, St. John's Market, the Railway Station, and St. George's Hatt. To this subject your Representatives have given their best attention, and have• supported those Improvements, *Arita, in their opinion, arefirstcalled for, and which will be em bodied in an application to/Parliament in the ensuing€ession. I take this opportunity of returning my sincere thanks - for the kindness and , courtesy which I have received frormyou during the twelve years I have been honoured with year con fidence.—l remain, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant, JOHN B. LLOYD. Exchange Alley, 20th October, 1853. TO THE 'MUNICIPAL ELECTORS POT VAUXHALL WARD. GENTLEMEN, — The term for which you elected me as one of your Representatives‘will shortly expire. A Deputation of Gentlemen Electors of your Ward having waited upon me, and presented a Requisition, numerously and respectably signed•brparties of all shades of opinion, I have no hesitation in tendering my beet exertions fonyetir acceptance. I feel less difficulty ibriew coming forward as a Candidate, for, since I have had the honour to represent you, I have the satisfaction to know my-conduct in the Council has met with the uniform approbation -of the Ward. Three years ago you elected me on two distinct principles, which, I need kardly say, were quite in accordancosvith my own, namely, the entire absence of politics in local affairs, and strict economy in the management of the Corporate Purse, with a due -regard to the good old town's various re quirements and upholding her interests. I think it wilt be found I have kept these principles Tan stantly in view; and d believe there is not an elector vtho will say that I forgot the interests of the Ward in support of any party, political or religious, in the Council. I have uniformly voted against the increase of official salaries when I have considered them well paid; and, whenever public money •waa to be expended. I nave looked carefully how it was to bequest beneficially and economicallyspent, having a deep sympathy for the difficulties and privatioas local taxation entail on the industrious ratepayers. Having, from my youngest 'days, had my interest bound up . in the prosperity of your Ward, it is apparent that what is injurious to you must he so -to me, and that we must be equally benefited by its improvement. Finally, the principles on which you first elected me are unchanged. If you should again do me that honour, Ihope that the experience I have had in the Council duties will en able me more effi c i e ntly to do justice to the trust reposed i n me. I remain, Gentlemen, your faithful servant, WILLIAM NICHOLSON. Shaw-street, 4th October, 1853. TO THE BURGESSES OF ABERCROMEY WARD. GENTLEMEN, —A highly respectable Deputation has kindly waited upon me with a Requisition, signed by a large number of Electors in your Ward, requestingme to come forward for the third time as a CANDIDATE at the ensuing Municipal Election. uisition does, the names of so Comprising, as that Req manyanfluential gentlemen of all parties, thus affording the best proof that my past endeavours:to promote your interests have given satisfaction, I have great pleasure in at once ac cedingto such a flattering mark of respect. If, therefore, you do me the honour again to elect me, I shall return to my ditties with an increased determination to persevere in that course which has hitherto met with your approbation, and which has appeared to ise most conducive to your welfare and the prosperity of thelown. I am, Gentlemen. Your obedient and faithful servant, R. C. GARDNER. Newsham-house, 12th October, 1853. TO THE BURGESSES OF CHANGE WARD. GENTLEMEN, The period for which you didnie the honour of choosing me as one of your Representatives in the Town Council, will expire on the Ist November. Having had thegratification of receiving a Requisition from a very numerous and influential body of the Electors of the Ward, requestingt hat I would come forward as a CART DIDAT II for Re-election' I have much pleasure in doing so, sad should you do me the honour of again returning me as one of your Representatives, I hope that, in the faithful discharge of the duties of the office, I may be fortunate enough to obtain a continuance of your approval. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, CHARLES TURNER, Liverpool, October 26th, 1853. TO THE ELECTORS OF RODNEY STREET WARD. GENTLEMEN Having received a Requisition numerously aswl and cmAoNstpreisDpAeTctE to respectably signed, represent your Wardg me a g i a n i t n h t e o T ceo"mneCouncil forward un, I have pleasure in acceding to your request. In doing so I cannot but take the opportunity of thanking you for fldence you have placed in me for the last six years ; th t e he co r n e - - collection of which will stimulate me to renewed exertions in order to maintain your good opinion. When I entered the Council I determined to act indepen dently of all parties, and to judge every subject by its own merits. I have endeavoured to carry out that resolution honestly and faithfully. Believing, as I do, that it is our duty, not only to promote the trade and commerce of the port, but also to attend to the improvement of the social condition of our fellow-townsmen , I have cordially supported those efforts which have been made to place the means of knowledge within the reach of all classes by the establishment of a Free Library, the extension of which I hope to see productive of great benefit. I shall support all measures calculated to promote the health and comfort of the poorer classes of the community, believing that the neglect of so clear a duty would entail dis tress and misery upon all. from the lowest to the highest. I have reason to hope that means for reviving the trade in ship-building will very soon be found. The importance of —.4, in connexion with our general trade, is much greater than may -* first sight appear ; and no exertion shall be wanting on my Pal , I- r-Amote this object.

PROTESTANT INSTITUTE.-A PUBLIC LECTURE will be delivered (D.V.) on MONDAY next, the 7th instant, in the Gnicert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, by the Rev. W. F. TAYLOR, M.A. Subject: GUNPOWDER PLOT. Admission to the Body of the Hall, Free ; Reserved Seats, Sixpence. Chair to be taken at Half-past Seven. however, the defect of our law, or the carelessness of those who were the victims in the transaction, prevented them from obtaining a legal remedy. It appears that a parcel of foreign currants was sold in the regular way through a broker, the con tract expressing that the Customs' tare was to be allowed. According to the custom of the trade, this would have been an average tare, calculated according to the actual tare taken on some few of the casks by the Customs' officers ; and the bar gain was so understood, at least by the English merchants and brokers. It appears, however, that the Customs' officers, instead of taking the actual tare by weighing the fruit and the casks separately, were content to take the usual per centag,e ; and accordingly the casks were delivered and paid for at that rate of allowance. But, upon their reaching the hands of the retailers, the casks were found to be four per cent. heavier than the weight allowed for ; and, upon the merchant ap plying for the difference, amounting to nearly £5O, he was met by a reference to the contract, which it was found had kept the word of promise to the ear, though it broke it to the hope, as the Customs' authorities had been content to take the usual tare, and this was in the bond. Any reference to arbitration of those well versed in the trade was refused ; and the Court, which only dispenses law, was compelled to nonsuit the plaintiff. We have referred to this case, i n th e hope that it may lead I to more caution in future. ST. MARTIN'S CHURCH.—Two SERMONS will be Preached in this Church on SUNDAY next, the 6th instant.

With such instances as these before us—and they form but y a small proportion of the many disadvantages connected with our foreign trade — we may well question whether we have not lost instead of gained by all that Free Trade has ac complished. Our manufacturers set the example of dishonesty in their fabrics, of which devil's dust and paste formed the principal ingredients ; and our foreign customers appear to have bettered their instructions. have acquired a facility for the language of hyper bole, which magnified alike their losses and their profits. We have now more recent news by the steam-ship Argo, which has opened the road home by way of Cape Horn, in the short period of sixty four days, and brought gold to the value of more than half-a-million, to recruit the diminishing stores of the Bank of England. The news which she has brought will tend to revive the hopes of Australian prosperity, for new gold fields have been discovered, with prospects of more abundant supplies, and the rush to the diggings is main tained with as much zeal as that which marked the early discoveries. If the expectations be realised, which we have no present reason to doubt, the additional supply must tend to augment the demand for British produce and manufactures, and further stimulate a trade which has hitherto proved so productive. In the meantime, it would appear that the rates which still rule in Australia are remunerative to shippers, but more particularly with reference to building materials, which realise enormous prices, on account of the great demand for more substantial dwellings than canvas tents. Bricks, slates, and sawn timber are extravagantly high, while the wages of all workmen connected with the building trade must raise these men into the condition of little aristocrats. Another feature in Australian society, which is entitled to consi deration, is the great disproportion between the sexes, and likely females, of good character, are invited to come out, with the prospect of having an excess of fifty-seven thousand males from which to select a husband. Political affairs have also not escaped attention, and it is said that an Upper Legislative Chamber has been agreed to, upon the idea of laying the foundation for a colonial peerage.

WHILE those who can , discern nothing - that lies (deeper than the surface - are felicitating themselves -on the great advantages which they choose to - believe have been gained by Free-trade, there are many circumstances which tarnish the spurious gilding, and give occasion 130 the judicious to ques tion whether it was worth while risking so much to gain so little. There is hardly an additional gain that has served - to -swell - the note of triumph raised by these Manchester - politicians, which - may not be clearly traced to causes over which human wisdom or foresight could have 'had no control. If Free trade promotedemigration,it was not on account of the blessings which it-produced, but 'directly the reverse, for the - miseries .which it occaiioned com pelled hundreds andlhouscmds to forsake the land of their birth, kin order - to seek in other countries a home and -subsistence which •were denied them in this. The census of 1%1 tells the melancholy tale of our rural villages: almost depo pulated, and most of our country towns show ing a diminution of numbers, while the only evidence of increase - is in ithe seats of manufac tures and the-shipping ports, to which the peasan try had been driven as a last.resource. If - the phase of internal affairs wa s a revival of manufacturing industry, it was e wing to. the increased ethigration, and the demands of our distant colonists, stimu lated by the extraordinary discoveries. Otgold, to which Free-trade contributed nothing. All that our modern policy can claim .credit for is the impetus which'has been given-to our 'foreign trade, and when this:has been examined with aniimpar tial eye, the doubt may fairly he-raised whether it is not a source rather of loss -than of gain. The first step .which was Wien was -to discou rage the raising of our food on our own broad acres, - by admitting to • our markets -the -produceuzlich (contributed nothing to our Revenue, and did not ,even give us the - benefit of exchanging- one pro duct for another, as:every increase .of importation ;has led to a decrease of exportation in'thesame direction. The consequence was a depreciationoof :agricultural property,:by far the moat important - interest in the kingdom, and such a (discourage ment to the cultivation ,of wheat, that ,now,- after only a few years' experience, we are dependent for. the -greater proportion of the most important article for our subsistence tupon the surplus pro ductions of other countries. This is au evil of such magnitude, that a quarrel between Turkey,and Russia has augmented the -price of bread beyond the :average during the mu& maligned times of protection, and so all the dream of cheapness in which the Manchester orators so fondly indulged has proved a delusion. But this is by no means the extent of the evil, for in dealing with foreigners we have to oppose the principle of common honesty, which was once the peculiar ch arac t er i st i c o f English trading, to the craft and fraud which appear inseparable from the dealings tof our new foreign customers. This is Particul ar l y t h e case in the corn trade from the ports on the Black Sea, where it is a common practice to commit wholesale frauds by having bills of lading s i gned in blank, and transmitted to England with bills &awn against these imaginary shipments ; and should merchants here be weak enough to accept on the faith of such securities, they afterwards find large discrepancies between the actual and the alleged quantities, and may seek for a remedy i n , va i n. Last week we called attention to the risk in curred by British merchants in shipping by foreign vessels, owing to the difference between our laws and those of other nations, and the diffi cu l ty, if not impossibility, of obtaining redress fori the grossest injustice. This is one of the evils spring ing out of the repeal of the Navigation Laws, and can only be met by merchants refusing to employ vessels owned by foreigners, notwithstanding the T apparent temptation of lower rates of freight. .he trade in foreign fruit is another source o f dishonest practices, wherever they can be at tempted, through the ill - deserved confidence of British merchants. An instance o f this k ind was brought before the Liverpool Court of Passage, on Tuesday last, which chows, at the least, the animus LIVERPOOL PILOTS. WHEN the provisions in the Pilotage Bill were under discussion by the House of Commons, in committee, an objection was raised to the power given to the Board of Trade to grant Pilotage licenses to masters and mates of vessels, as far as concerned the Port of Liverpool, upon the ground that the great difficulties attending the navi gation of the Mersey, owing to shifting sands, rendered necessary an efficient body of experienced pilots, as well as increased the danger to vessels navigated only by their own officers. It was, however, a permissive, not a com pulsory, power, and the question of its exercise has now been brought to issue. A correspondence has passed be tween the secretary of the Liverpool Steam-ship Associa tion and the secretary of the Pilots' Committee. The former wrote to ask when their masters and mates might be examined, so as to receive certificates as pilots, in accordance with the New Pilotage Act. Mr. RowEA ND replied that the Pilots' Committee did not intend to grant licenses to any one not brought up in and intending to pursue the pilot service as a means of livelihood, giving as the reason for so doing that, in consequence of the very great reduction recently made in the rates of pilotage, they conceive that the only just ground of complaint by the Liverpool steam-ship proprietors has been done away with. The Steam-ship Association, it is said, intend to appeal to the Board of Trade. ELECTION OF ALDERMAN. A RADICAL caucus meeting took place on Saturday, at the Clarendon-rooms, with the view of choosing a candi date for the seat rendered vacant by the death of Alderman Holmes. Mr. Robertson Gladstone was in the chair; and amongst those present were Messrs. Hugh Hornby, George Holt, Picton, Bradley, Fleming, Thomson, Langs dale, Godfrey, and Beckwith, and Messrs. Bigham and Moss, who called the meeting. Messrs. R. Gladstone, H. Hornby, and G. Holt, were successively applied to for their consent to be put in nomination, but all refused, and the meeting broke up without agreeing to any thing. Yesterday, however, the attempt at opposition was renewed in the Council Chamber, and the Mayor, much to his sur prise, was made the stalking-horse of the discomfited Radicals. We need not say with what result. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION. THE election of sixteen members of the Town Council, in the room of the same number who retire by rotation, takes place this day, and we hare reason to believe that the result in those few wards which are to be contested, will be satisfactory to the Conservatives. It is one among the many circumstances of which Liverpool has reason to boast, that her Representatives in the Corpora tion comprise some of the most respectable, intelligent, and substantial of her inhabitants,--a. fact which gives •dignity to their proceedings, and enables her to take the first rank in the local communities of the kingdom, not .even yielding to London, where party spirit has banished all the merchants from the Council, and left it a mere clique of Radical tradesmen. This pre-eminence, how ever, Liverpool wall not continue to enjoy, unless the .electors maintain the same spirit which has animated them heretofore, and return only such representatives as will.do credit to themselves and the body of which they .form a part. It :is a strilting fact, that while the majority of the Town Council are men of Conservative principles, they leave not carried out party views in Corporate pro ceedings, or made politics a question of difference ; whereas, in almost.every cnsp in which their re-election .is opposed, it is done by Radicals, expressly on political considerations, having no other -qualities to recommend them. The electors should 'be especially careful that their Interests are ,represented at the Council Board by , men of standing, respectability, ,and high personal •cha racter—qualities which are usuallyfound unitedin candi dates Of known Conservative principles ; whereas, if, for reasons of mere party politics, they give their votes to men of opposite character, they will find themselves made the :tools by .which to gratify personal ambition, and the Town Council sill, in time, be converted into a bear-garden, in which aspiring politicians and embryo Chancellors of the Exchequer will emulate the doings of Marylebone Vestry, or the Cogers' Debating Society. The truest advocates. of economy without parsimony, and the best friends of the rate-payees, are Conservative gentlemen, and this truth should be lept inview when the electors give their votes to-day in each ward where the represen tation is to be contested. In the opposition which has been got up in Aber evamby Ward to the re-election of Mr. R. C. GARDNER, the conduct of Mr. ROBERDSON GLADSTONE is in no war defensible. The latter was himself elected from the belief that he would prover useful man in the Coun cil, .and he has now the presumption to dictate to the electors as to their choice of a ectleagne. There are few men better qualified for a seat in the Town Council than Mr. G4iIIDNER, and we cannot believe that: tie electors will be 40 forgetful of their own interests as to reject him for dile young gentleman nominated by 'Mr. GLAD STONE.

A public meeting of the burgesses of Great George Ward, favourable to the return of Mr. Alexander Shand, was held on Wednesday, at Great George's Tavern—Mr. Wagstaff, T.C., in the chair. Alderman Cooper moved the first resolution, which was agreed to unanimously. On Friday, a meeting of the friends and promoters of the return of Mr. W. P. Jeffreys, as a member of the Town Council for Pitt-street Ward, was held at the Vine Tavern, Pitt-street. Edward Rimmer, Esq., presided. A resolu tion to support Mr. Jeffreys was agreed to unanimously. On Saturday, a numerous and influential meeting of the electors of Abercromby w ar d, in favour of Mr. R. C. Gardner, was held at the Phoenix Inn, Mount-pleasant— Mr. R. Griffiths in the chair. Amongst those present were Mr. Elias Arnaud, collector of Customs ; Messrs. Waddington, Toulmin, Christian , Nicholson, D anson , J. S. Gardner, Sre. The resolutions were agreed to unani mously. A numerous meeting, in support of James Jack, Esq., as representative of Scotland-road ward, was held yester day, at the house of Mr. Owen Davis, Scotland-road. A similar meeting was also held yesterday, at the Lamb and Flag, Burlington-street, and at both meetings resolutions were carried to support Mr. Jack. Yesterday a numerous meeting of the supporters of Mr. Nicholson was held at the house of Mrs. Hays, Vauxhall road. Alexander Shand, Esq., in the chair. The resolu tions in support of Mr. Nicholson were agreed to unani mously. It is understood that the following gentlemen will be proposed as the new aldermen in lieu of those who retire on the 9th :—Mr. Thomas Littledale, Mr. Samuel Holme, Mr. J. B. Lloyd, Mr. J. A. Tobin, Mr. Edmund Moly neux, Mr. Jos. Cooper, and Mr. James Parker. The only opposition to this list which we hear of at present is a proposition to substitute Mr. George Holt and Mr. Robert son Gladstone for Messrs. Cooper and Parker. GROSS INTIMIDATION. — The re-election of Mr. Nichol son, as representative for Vauxhall Ward, has been opposed by bringing forward Mr. Daniel Powell, a Romanist, at the instigation of Messrs. Bradley and Moss. Our readers must be in some degree familiar with the unscrupulous means resorted to when the minions of Rome have any object to gain, but they will scarcely credit the kind of influence which has been brought to bear in order to thrust Mr. Daniel Powell into the Town Council, at the loss of a far better man. The majority of the voters have been threatened with personal violence, and unless the most efficient precautions are taken by the police, scenes of bloodshed are apprehended, and the dread of these san guinary ruffians, who have been called to the aid of Mr. Powell, will have the effect of deterring many of the electors from recording their votes in favour of Mr. Nicholson. As a proof of the reign of terror which has been organized, we may state that a supper for thirty having been ordered at a house in the Waterloo Road, the landlord, who was not at home when the order was given, wrote to say that he could not allow it with safety to him self or his property, as he believed the house would be pulled down over him. Radicalism is bad enough, but Romanism is the incarnation of evil. THE Operatives of Preston and other manufac turing towns continue out on strike, and, if we may judge from their speeches and resolutions at public meetings, appear determined to persevere in their insane movement, which, whatever be the issue, must result in severe loss and suffering to themselves. It was hoped that these men would have been accessible to the voice of reason, and that, warned by the failure of so many previous attempts, they would have paused before all chance of reconciliation became impossible. But. it seems that passion has taken the place of judgment, and that the demand for the ten per cent. is to be per sisted in at all hazards, or, at least, so long as they can obtain from others the means of bare subsist ence—a difficulty which is all the greater, owing to the high price of bread and other necessaries, and the near approach of winter, when the cost of living will be enhanced by the dearness of fuel. The movement, however, acquired a new impetus a few days since, by the announcement that sub stantial aid had been received from an unexpected quarter. At a meeting of the discontented, the Chairman acknowledged the receipt of a cheque for no less than rive Hundred Pounds from Sir JOHN TERELL, M.P. for North. Essex. It now appears that the turn-outs have been hoaxed, the cheque being a fabrication. It would not, however, have been difficult to comprehend the peculiar train of reason which might have prompted such an act. -Sir JOHN TYBELL is a land-owner, in favour of Protection, and interested in the prosperity of Agriculture, as a source of national wealth. Ile views the master manufacturers as the enemies of his order,—the men who helped to carry Pree-trade—to serve whom Sir ROBERT PEEL betrayed to ruin the Conservative party who had 'elevated him to power,—and the men whose enormous wealth, wrung from the labours of the operatives, is threatening the extinction of the landed. interest as a source of power. Holding, therefore, no feeling but antipathy towards this class, -he aright see in the turn-out of their oper atives :a means of injuring them, which a donation to the men would encourage. 'The strike may be ruin to -- those engaged in it, but it will, also, be a serious Goss to those whose niffis are closed, and whose (-capital is lying idle, 'mid it is, therefore, a cheap :revenge to encourage the operatives to persevere, while the deed may be palliated by recalling the many sufferings •which the latter class 'has had to endure beforeireduced lours of labour were wrung from their masters by law, :and competition compelled fhemloAceept wages 'within theTmilt of bare subsistence. larch recollections deprive:the masters of:till. sympathy; but the men, for the sake of themselves and their families, shourthpause in their ceareer 'before it is too late. The gratification of their •feelings can . never 'tome to good,.and they may'be certain , cif -this fact,that whatever may be the extent of loss - to the maltiers, the misery and suffering which fit will cause to themselves will be infinitely greater. The-serious riots which took place at Wigan on Friday , night, showing ;how speedily their follyikas become, crime, should- open the eyes of these 'men to the 'dangerous precipice of which they -have already-reached the verge. They 'have now the opportunity to return,.but should this be neglected the consequences are frightful•to-contemplate. ANOTHBE week has passed, and we gcnow little more of the state of affairs between /Russia and Turkey than what is conveyed in the daily reports by Electrie'Telegraph—reports whieh•axe as likely to be false as true, and which must .be received more with,refErenee to their probable effects upon the funds than as detailing matters of fact. On Friday there was an account that two Russian steamers andsdight gun-boats Iliad forced apassage ,on the Danube, and had been fired on 'by the 'Turkish forts, with the loss of -several officers and .men. This looked si? much like:a commencement of actual hostilities, that the funds, which had been -Slowly recovering from their dopression, expe rienced an immediate fall. On Saturday another telegraphic message stated that an Armistice had been /concluded with ,he Turks and Passians, and the finds recovered MOM than their fail of the ,day 'before. The merits of the question have been so often ,discussed, that it is becoming as wearisome as a thriee-told tale. We may, however, state that the representatives of the Great Powers are still exerting Themselves to bring the affair to an amicable adjustment ; and it is believed, by those best informed on the subject, that they will be stie cessful, notwithstanding the vigorous demonstra tions of warlike intentions. It is said that Austria and Prussia have assumed a tone of strict neutrality, which may have the effect of promoting peace. We must be content, however, to exercise more patience, although the delay is injurious to our commerce, as it must be evident that war, under any circumstances, would be far more destructive than could be compensated by any imaginary advantages from the maintenance of the Turkish Empire. THE immense amount of property which has been embarked in adventures to Australia has given more than ordinary interest to the advices from that colony. It was only a short time since that the story of all prosperity was broken in upon by reports of glutted markets and ships lying in harbour, with cargoes for which no customers were to be found; and a sudden check was put to that excitement of exportation which had given such an impetus to our shipping trade. We then advised moderation in believing any accounts from the land of exaggeration, as the settlers seemed to PROSPECTS OF BIRKENHEAD. THE great demand upon our space this week, from obvious causes, has compelled us to postpone the con tinuation of our remarks on " The Port of Liverpool." There are, however, some gratifying symptoms of im provement in the town of Birkenhead, which must mate rially contribute to the prosperity of the port. It will be remembered that, owing to the claim which had been set up by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to the foreshore of Birkenhead, the Corporation of Liverpool had been compelled to forego the lease which had been granted to Mr. WILSON for a shipbuilding yard on the Cheshire side of , the Mersey. The dispute, however, was subsequently settled by the payment of a sum of money ; and, this difficulty being got rid of, the Corpora tion of Liverpool have made arrangements for the profitable occupation of their Cheshire property. It, will be seen by the report of the meeting of the Town Council, held yesterday, that Mr. Joint LAIRD, the eminent iron ship-builder, has taken the piece of land above Monk's-ferry, which had been leased to Mr. WILSON, for shipbuild ing purposes ; and that the land between Woodside and Monk's-ferry has been leased, one half to Messrs. CLAY TON and Co., and the other half to Messrs. CLOVER and ROYLE, the extensive ship-builders of Liverpool, for the same purposes. The Corporation also intend to remove the buildings of the Birkenhead Hotel, to erect a sea-wall from Woodside to Birkenhead-ferry, and to construct a graving dock and other appliances for carrying on shipbuilding on an extensive scale. We may also state that operations were to be commenced yester day in the great works of Messrs. BRASSEY, PETO, and Co., for the construction of locomotive engines for the Grand Trunk Railway in Canada. These are all signs of great improvement, and must conduce in a material degree to the prosperity of the port on both sides of the Mersey. THE LIMERICK AND KERRY estates of the Knight of Kerry was sold, on Friday, in the Encumbered Estates Court. They realized close upon £57,000, about twenty years' purchase on the net rental. THE DEATH of the Hon. and Right Rev. Dr. Ponsonby, Lord Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, occurred at the Palace, Derry, on Thursday morning last. THE GREAT EXHIBITION.—As Saturday was the last of the sixpenny admission days, and but one day more at half-a-crown until the final closing of the Exhibition, the desire of the public to have a " last fond look" seemed to pervade almost the entire population of Dublin. The number of visitors up to five o'clock is estimated at 30,000. There were 18,863 present on Friday, and the receipts amounted to £450. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday, Mr. Cornelius Egan, son of Alderman Egan, of Dublin, met his death at Howth whilst shooting. His gun accidentally exploded, and the whole charge lodged in his heart. The deceased was in his 17th year. DEATH OF LORD CLONCURRY.—Another of the men who figured remarkably in the troublous period which preceded the union between Great Britain and Ireland, has passed to his final account. Lord Cloncurry died on Friday night, at his residence, county Dublin, at the ad vanced age of SO years. PROROGATION OF CONVOCATION.—The Convocation of the prelates and clergy of the province of Canterbury, which stood prorogued to Friday, the 28th ultimo, was further prorogued to Saturday, November 30th, according to the tenor of a royal writ, by the Vicar-general of the Most Rev. the Archbishop of Canterbury, primate, and the metropolitan, under a special commission from his grace to that effect. A WARNING.—A labourer, named Otway, of Harptree North Somerset, left his home on Sunday week to go to his work, which was at a distance. Some time afterwards he was found lying in a corn-field with his clothes in flames, and his flesh was so burnt that he never recovered. Be fore he died, he stated that he had called at a cider-shop, drunk freely, and then lain down to sleep with a lighted pipe. This had set his clothes on fire, and was the cause of his miserable death. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE. A gentleman, named William Rigby, residing with his friends at 130, Falkner street, committed suicide on Thursday last, by taking a quantity of sulphuric acid. He had been for some years past in a very desponding state of mind, and was of very intemperate habits. He had, however, latterly improved, but on the night of the 13th instant his gold watch was stolen from him while in liquor, by a party of prostitutes and artillerymen. The case was brought before the magistrates some time since, and the publicity of the affair seems to have driven him back to his former de sponding state, and he had been drinking to excess since the occurrence. His friends endeavoured to calm him as much as possible, and on Saturday last he left home and did not return until Monday, when he was again in a state of inebriation, and was put to bed, where he re mained until the Wednesday, when he appeared altogther much better. On Wednesday night he again retired to rest, and on Thursday morning he relapsed to his former bad state, imagining that some person was in the house for the purpose of carrying him away in a car and locking him up. In the course of the afternoon the inmates were alarmed by cries of " John, John," and inet the de ceased running down-stairs, with his hands across his stomach, having on only his shirt. He went into the parlour and threw himself on the sofa, still keeping his hand in the same position. The impression was that he had been seized with cholera, and Dr. Patterson was sent for, but did not do him any good. Dr. Bickersteth and his son were . then called in, and remained with him till nine o'clock the same evening, when he expired. It was (concluded that he had taken sulphuric acid, and a bottle -containing-some of that liquid was found upon the mantle .piece of his bedroom. CALIFORNIAN NOMENCLATURE.—Some of our people in the interior have a most extraordinary taste in nomen clature. The recent election has brought to light such delectable localities as Whisky Creek, Jackass Golch, Humbug City, One Horse Town, One Mule Town, Drunk ares Bar, Murderer's Bar, Shirt-tail Canon, Lower Humbug, Negro Fiddletown, Coen Hollow, Jay Hawk, Condemned Bar, Grizzly Flat, Musquito Canon, Poverty Bar, Mule'Canon, Greenhorn, Mugginsville, Mad Muletown, Sucker Flat, Rattlesnake Bar, Yankey Jim's, Peppermint Bar, Mad Canon, Humbug Canon, Rough and Ready, French'Corzal, &c. For the love of posterity, reform your nomenelature, good people, before it is too late. Mare the settlers of most of the other new States, our people have retained very few of the Indian names for loc,alitiea. Most of -the 'rivers and counties in the State, and many ,of the settlements south of Sacramento, are still known by the high-sounding Spanish titles given them by the.early Californians. They were a very devout people, and sprinkled the names of their favourite saints all over the country. Thus we have San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Diego, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, Santa Isabel, San Louis Obispo , San Andreas, San Jose, San A n t o nio, San Rafael, San ' Leandre, Santa Yner, San Gabriel, San Miguel, and a whole calendar more of Sans and S an tas.

She will spread 16,000 yards of canvas, with four masts. A new feature on board is a steam engine of 16-horse power ; intended to do all the heavy work of the ship, such as hoisting in and discharg ing cargo, setting up rigging, hoisting topsail, &e.; it is also connected with an apparatus for distilling fresh water from salt water. It will diminish, too, the number of men required to work the ship, her crew consisting of only. 100 men and 30 boys. The keel, for 60 feet forward, is gradually raised from a straight line, and curves upwards into an arch, so that the gripe of the fore-foot is the are of the circle, and not angular, like other vessels. The lines are concave forward and aft, up to a few feet above the load displacement line ; the sides are arched something like a man of war, but not so much in proportion to her size ; the stern is semi-ecliptical in form, and, instead of bulwarks, the outline of her spar-deck is protected by a rail supported by turned oak stanchions. She has four complete decks, and four houses on her spar-deck, erected for the use and comfort of the crew. All her beams, masts, spars, &c., are in proportion to her enormous size : the mainmast and foremast are 44 inches in diameter, the mainyard 28 inches and 120 feet long, carrying a sail 120 feet square. It is stated that so enormous is her length that if it were possible to raise her on end along side the monument on Fish-hill-street, she would tower above it more than 120 feet EMPORIUM of FOREIGN and BRITISH SHAWLS and MANTLES, 41, BOLD-STREET.—J.
