GE:t TLEMEN, THE honour of having been unanimously selected by Tau at a General Meeting, as one of the CANDI ATES for ? I) representing your Ward in the Council of the 13 ough, has, I can assure yon, been gratefully felt and duly a p emoted. Should I obtain a seat in the Council, for w ich, under your auspices, lam now a Candidate; I shall at all Imes be anxious to discover and to promote whatever objec may be useful to this great community, and particularly to th ivision of it which I shall have the honour to represent. On very subject which comes before the Council I shall endeav ur to obtain the best information in my power; and I can ass re you that toy advice and vote shall be given on all occasio disinterestedly, impar tially, and solely with a view to the - ge ral good. All questions relating more particu rly to the public health, ' such as the removal of nuisances, and the prevention of deposits or works which may vitiate the atmosphere in a way that may be detrimental to life; the provision of free grounds for exercise and recreation in the open sky, at a convenient distance from the town, and of suitable extent; and other sanatary objects, as my mind may be supposed to be professionally habituated to them, will naturally be expected to engage my peculiar care. To these I may venture perhaps to add the establishment of a public system of education, which, according to the general ex pectation, must occupy the early attention of the Council, that shall be worthy of the enlightened times in which we live; that shall be commensurate to the present condition and future prospects of Liverpool; and exempted from those restrictions and invidious distinctions which, more or less, deform all the seminaries of education which have had their origin in remote and herbari's times, and under the influence of a religious sect predominant for the time. To this great work I shall always be read to offer my zealous assistance. My views of politics, or in other words, of national morality, are well known to be those which are generally denominated liberal. In proof of this it may suffice to state, that I attended and took apart in the . proceedings of all those patriotic meetings which, from time to tithe, were held in Liverpool for supporting and encouraging the ministry in their protracted and arduous struggle for varryisig the Reform and Muuicipal Reform Bills. 1 am therefore not now required to come forward and, like my opponents in this Ward, for the first time to avow my willingness to give complete " efficacy to all the provisions of the Municipal Reform Bill;" which in progress they bad always violently op posed ; which, had their wishes been obtained, would never have ben enacted; and without which you would never have had the power of giving the vote which you will soon have an opportunity of tendering in the choice of Representatives, in the execution of your own affairs. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your devoted Servant, JAMES CAR SON, M.D. Monet-pleasant, Ith Der., 1)33.5. FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 25, 1835. The London papers of Wednesday night, and our pri vate letters from the same quarter, but from various in dividuals,—some from gentlemen of the'highest political connexions,—assure us that the present administration is at an end. Lord MELBOURNE, Lord GLENELG, and Lord PALMERSTON have unquestiOnably tendered their resig nations to the King ; and, although an'effort will be made to patch up the cabinet, the public may rest satisfied that such a desperate contrivance is altogether impracticable. From what the ministerial papers and the friends of the administration acknowledge, it is quile'clear that they are ,not only,in great difficulties, but that the idea of strengthening the old cabinet by the accession of Lord STANLEY and the Duke of RICHMOND is altogether falla cious. There is, unquestionably, a division between the MELBOURNE and the Lord JOHN RUSSELL portion of the cabinet ; and the North Northamptonshire election ha s caused such a division in the camp that- vib' are confident ,that the present ministers will never meet the parliament that is to assemble on the 4th February as the servants of the crown. We may, therefore, take it to he decided under these distressing and overpowering circumstancesthat the whig radical and O'CONNELL government has come to an end by the feebleness of its members, and by the over aielm ing disgust with which all their measures and, their rela tions to the Irish demagogue have placed them in the estimation of the people of England. The Message of the President of the United States is not expected to arrive in Liverpool before New Year's day. The northerly and easterly winds which now pre vail will most probably detain the packet at soa truioli be yond the period of her usual passage. It is also said, by those who possess the best information . on the subject, that the message is expected to reach Havre several days before it can possibly arrive in Liverpool, inasmuch as a fast-sailing vessel was to leave another port nearer to Washington than New York is, and expressli for the purpose of conveying the intelligence to France. In the meantime there is considerable speculation at work in order to supply, according to the respective in terests of the parties, some information with regard to the relative position of- the conflicting powers, but little or no reliance can be placed on what proceeds from these quarters. We shall therefore patiently wait the issue, be it peace or war. The preparations for the first con testlunder the muni cipal reform bill, which takes place to-morrow, engage almost the undivided attention of the greatest portion of our readers, and we have accordingly devoted all the space we can spare to a brief inquiry into the character, the competency, and the pretensions of the several can didates, which we have no doubt will both instruct and amuse the electors and the inhabitants of Liverpool ge nerally. The change in the mode of election of corpo rate officers in all the prinicipal boroughs of England, which is to be tried to-tnorrow, is one 'of the most im portant of the many experiments which have emanated from the levelling and restless spirit of the present ge neration. Whether it will work for good or evil remains to be decided ; but one thing is clenk enough, namely, that the tendency of this popular election is to divide the inhabitants of all corporate towns into two great sec tions, each pulling in an opposite direction, and striving to supplant and tyrannise over the other. In these an tipathies of party we see the germs of everlasting dis cord and contention which will in the end prove detri mental to the middle classes who engage in the conflict, and especially to the shopkeepers, who, without reflect ing upon the consequences, are anxious to be elevated at once from their counters to the civic bench, and to mea sure out justice in a police court as they measure tape and ribbons to their customers. Far be it from us to say that this class of, tradesmen are not qualified to discharge the.duties of commont councilmen ; but we still think, with all due deference to them, and — Without meaning them the slightest disrespect, that the trustees of corpo rate estates should be men raised above the level of re tailers, and in some degree independent of trade. In a town like this it is difficult to draw distinctions, and as few should he drawn as possible ; but at the same time we would rather leave the choice of interference to the private judgment and the good sense of the individual himself than desire to regulate or prevent it by fixed laws. On this ground we hope that certain candidates will see the folly of their present position before it be too late. We would rather counsel them to withdraw frum the contest than be under the necessity of opposing them ; for, be they successful or otherwise in the election of to morrow, they may rely upon it thatito-morrow is only the beginning of their troubles —only - the first clay of letting out the waters, the rushing of which and the chilling in fluence of which will annoy if net.-annihilate them be fore their first year of office is over. The following are the candidates:— Ist Ward.—(Evertors.) The six candidates are all re spectable men, against whom .no;o4jection-,whatever can be taken ; and therefore, the preference given in favour of the three conservatives, Mr. Alderman Horsfall, Mr. Hodgson, and Mr. W. C. Molyneux, must have refer ence more to their experience, the number of their friends, and their religious and political principles, than to any other qualifications. . 2d Ward.—(Scotland Road.) The three radical candi dates are Mr. William Thornhill, Mr. Crawford Logan, and Mr. Richard Shiel. Mr. Thornhill, formerly a su gar-baker, at one time in partnership with one Wood, emphatically, as Cobbett uses to say, called John, and this John having during his whole life time decried most lustily against taxes in every shape, has now the honour of being chairman of the board of taxes in London. Mr. Thornhill is not now in business; he lives upon a small competence, and can hardly be called independent, espe- 11-3Vit '-4^Pl:JT; ^ • R::tl~iG'.iidYt:~:s3lrlY.a'SLllF~]2lfiL}q ..~.nFrr-~.f.: cially if we connect him with the management of an itW portant trust, in the exercise of which, the enjoyment of patronage, and a voice in all contracts, are by no means inconsiderable or beneath temptation. Mr. Logan is a Scotcbman, has resided for several years in Liverpool, but is very little known. We be lieve he is some way connected with another party in making chain cables. Richard Shiel is an Irish Roman Catholic, almost a stranger in Liverpool, and was once a purser's clerk is the navy, has little or no property in Liverpool, has na claims whatever upon the burgesses of Liverpool, and has pushed himself fokward into the ranks of a political fac tion by sheer impudence. He is supposed to be an ora tor, but he has an awful and intolerable brogue. He is a liberal in the worst sense of that term. He is perpe tually prating against the national debt, and yet be is a pensioner of the crown. Opposed to these, on the conservative side, are Mr: Richard Houghton, Mr. James Heywortli, - and Mr. Wil liam Foster. Mr. Houghton belongs to one of the old.- est and most honourable families in Liverpool. He is a man of large fortune, is in no business, and .has for many years devoted his time to the management of the public charities, to which he himielf has been a liberal and bountiful contributor. He gave the land, as a pre" sent,. to the church of England, on which the parliamen tary commissioners built St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, in which upwards of seven hundred sittings are provided for the poor for ever. We cannot too strongly recommend Mr. Houghton to the electors of Scotland Ward. Mr. James Hayworth is a merchant and ship-owner, whose character is unimpeachable, who has talents of the first order, who is of good business habits, holds considerable property in the town, and has always been beneficent towards the charitable institutions. Mr. Foster is a master tradesman, a native of Liver pool, and employs a considerable number of workmen, and has front his property a large stake in the town. 3d. Ward.—(Vauxhall Road.) The conservatives are Mr. Alderman Wright, Mr. Joseph Ackers, and Mr. H. Copeland. Nothing need be said of Mr. Alderman Wright, who has twice had the honour of filling the civic chair, as the first magistrate of Liverpool, and who on all occasions has upheld the dignity of his station with an impartiality which reflects upon him unbounded credit. He was the champion of the deeply injured freemen in the worst and most corrupt times in English history. He has an independent fortune, is not engaged in any busi ness, and if elected, as we hope he will be, histime would be, as it hasititherto been, entirely at the service of his native townsmen. . Mr. Joseph Ackers, independent of his own qualificar tions, is the brother of the late and much lamentedJAms ACKERS, who rendered more important and valuable ser vices to the " good old town" than any man in his day. Had he been living we feel confident that no appeal of this kind would have been required in his favour. Ins name alone would have secured his triumphant return; and we trust, from a sense of gratitude, the electors of this ward will, upon a fair trial, find that the mantle of the deceased has fallen upon his brother. Mr. Henry Copeland is also a native of Liverpool. He is a young man of excellent talents, of sound judg ment and correct principles, and sincerely attached to the church and the institutions of England. The three radical candidates are Mr. Enoch Harvey. Mr. John D. Thornely, and Mr. Egerton Smith—men sufficiently known for their notorious ineligibilityand better known as belonging to one of the most jobbing. dishonest, and treacherous of all the religious sects la England—the UNITARIANS !! ! Not one word more need be added to induce the electors to reject with indig nation, and with some contempt, the above candidates. 4th Ward.—(St. Paul's.) -L-The radical candidates for this ward are—Mr. C. Rawson, Mr. W. Stuart, and Mr. A. M'Gregor. The first is an unitarian,—an insuper able objection to him ! The second is also understood to be, or to have been, an unitarian ; but we believe there are very - few people in Lit erpool who know or care whence he came, where he was born, or what he is. - Mr. A. M`Gregor—comes from Scotland, but he is not exactly a Rob Roy. He has Rob's talents in a certain way, without his gallantry or his generosity. All, we have to say abput him is to express our hope that this man will never be allowed to be a common councilman in Liverpool. The conservatives are Mr. Richard B. Hollinshead, Mr. W. Shand, and Mr. John Barton. Of Mr. Hollins head it surely will not be expected of us to say much. He is the son of the late Henry Blundell H o lli ns hearl, who served the office of Mayor of Liverpool three timea—i he is the brother of the late Jonathan Blundell Hollins head, who also served the officik.of Mayor twice—his an cestors established the Blue Cast Hospital—he is de scended from one of the oldest anti best families of which Liverpool can boast—they resided For many years in the ward which he desires to represent; and if there be one spark of good feeling, or any recolleCtions of gratitude, he will be returned by an immense majcrity. Mr. Wm. Shand is an extensive shipowner, and in that capacity employs a vast number of Liverpool workmen. He is an admirable man of business, and, in every sense, well qualified to fill the office of a common councilman. Mr. John Barton is a highly respectable masttr trades man, employs a large number of workmen, is a rittive of Liverpool, and a staunch member of the church of Btag land ! sth Ward.—(The Exchange.) The conservatives kre Mr. Thomas Sands, Mr. George Barton Ham, and Ms. John Bent. The first is a gentleman extensively engaged" in the American and East India trade, has a good pro perty embarked in business, the employment of which is advantageous to all classes in the town; is a man of sound judgment, of irreproachable charaCter, and is a liberal contributor to all the public charities. Of Mr. George Barton Irian), son of the late lamented George Main, and a member of the old and highly respected firm of Barton, Irlam, and Higginson, we shall say Ile more, than that we trust that all those tradesmen who are electors, or the sons or relatives of those tradesmen, who, in the hour of peril and necessity, were supported by the said firm, will manfully do their duty and rally round the descendant of one to whose father and mercantile con nexions they are under so many obligations. Mr. John Bent is universally respected for his upright , independent, and straightforward condtict. No better man could be named for this ward. Now for the Whig• radical candidates... The Orst; Mr. Lawrence Hey worth, is a respectable man, and if be had not made his appearance in Clayton7quai-e, inthecapa city of an orator, for which nature never designed him, be would have stood much higher in the estimation of ths respectable part of this community. Mr. Henry Holmes, brother of Mr. John Holmes; can didate for the first ward, is a respectable inhabitant of the town, of which he is a native. Considering his quiet and unassuming disposition, we are a tonisbed that he should have allowed himself to be put in nomination, or that be should have mixed himself up in this struggle, which must interfere greatly with his peace of mind. Of all the op position candidates we consider Mr. Henry Holmes the least objectionable. We believe that Mr. Holmes, on a recent occasion, signed a requisition calling upon Sir Robert Peel to become a candidate for the town of Li verpool. Mr. Mellor is a flaming radical, without either judg ment or discretion. He has no talents to qualify him left the office to which he aspires. He is comparatively a stranger in Liverpool ; he is only known in a limited circle; he cannot Command public confidence, for the public know little about him; and it will reflect a deep reproach upon the town if he should be, unfortunately for himself and the burgesses, returned to the common council. 6th Ward.—(Castle-street.)--The conservatives are. Alderman Sir Thomas Brancker, Mr. George Grant, and Mr. John Nelson Wood. The first gentleman bears a name, and sustains a character, fo'r honoiir, and Indus trious habits as a magistrate, and is withal so pure and so honourable in the dikharge of his several duties, that no man, even his bitterest -enemy, can offer a single ob jection to him. Of him i .therefore, sie.need Say nothing more. .t The second, ,Alr. Creorge „'Grant, is a merchant, a member of a long established firm, and a gentleman of LIVER THEATRE, CHURCH-STREET.
