' THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a century, been duly appreciated at CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS. It was at the former place where the original projector of this delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation.- of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and ma kea their approbation of this GREAT DISCOVERY, by presenting to him the freedom of the town • ut with that the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say, that this ELIXIR is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the bon vivant: of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for their judgment. It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addendatotceni;nei Table, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more so as OYALTY has acknowledged its transcendent merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the " briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro prietors of PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, improves by aye. LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, Don't like—don't buy," is an old saying and a good one ; and as i n ma tt ers o f tas t e eve ry man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

Re M v. o H ve . d s b r y ow th E e LL ß_e T v. ha ß t . it J is . that the Roman Catholic Bishops in Irelan d, since the con cession G o n ti s E tr E a ' of political power, in the year 1829, have in d irect t e s d e c t o o n t d h e i d s m b e y e ti the ng violation of the most solemn religious and moral obligations, set up those very laws which they had renounced on oath before both the Committees of Lords and Commons, before the Commissioners of Education in Ireland, and by their own address and oath voluntarily pledged to their Priests and Laity. That by these laws they have set up the temporal authority of the Pope within these realms, to coerce the Ro man Catholic Laity to violate their allegiance to their lawful Sovereign, to stimulate them to invade and subvert the Pro testant Government, and the civil and religions rights and privileges of their Protestant fellow-subjects. That it there fore appears to this meeting that it is the bounden duty of the Protestants of this empire to unite together firmly, to deliver themselves and their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects from this anti-christian yoke, to petition the Parliament, and to insist on their respective representatives supporting their petitions, that no man shall be admitted into Parliament, or, to vote for a member of Parliament, nor into any office of political trust or power, until he shall have explicitly re nounced the seditious, intolerant, and persecuting canons of the papacy, and all pretended powers in the church of Rome to give them any infallible authority or obligation over the conscience of man, according to the test following. Moved by the Rev. H. M`NEILE, seconded by CHRISTO PHER BUSHELL, Esq.—That the present condition of our poor Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen is such as should engage the best sympathies and elicit the most strenuous efforts of this great Christian community, for their spiritual instruc tion and deliverance from the bondage of their fellow-men, into the glorious liberty of the gospel of the grace of God.

RICHARD GRIFFITH, Chairman TO THE ELECTORS OF RODNEY-STREET WARD. GENTLEMEN, HAVING been requested at a numerous a influential Public Meeting, of the Constituency of our Ward, to offer myself as a candidate at the approa ing Municipal Election, to represent you in the Town until, and having accepted the invitation, I have now to olicit the favour of your votes. Should you place me at the Co 11 Board, I shall advo cate all those measures, which I onsider conducive to the prosperity of this my native town, and more especially such as may be calculated to ameliorate the physical and conse quently moral condition of those classes of the community, who, from their numbers and destitution, have the strongest claim on any disposable public funds. Convinced that it is the first duty of a Government to af ford to all classes a sound and comprehensive system of edu cation, without interfering with their peculiar religious tenets, by committing them to the exclusive control of any one de nomination of clergy ; and believing that true knowledge is favourable to morality and religion, I shall give my support to the present system of the Corporation Schools, as best calculated to effect this object. Satisfied that the prosperity of this town is based on its commercial facilities, I am in favour of having Warehouses on the Dock Quays, as a measure highly conducive to the despatch of business and security of properity ; while the constitution of the Board to whom the management is in trusted, guarantees the due protection of both public andpri uate interests. As an advocate for Freedom of Trade, I am opposed to all monopolies and legislative enactments in favour of any par ticular class, at the expense of the rest of the community ; and especially to what I consider the most unjust and im politic of existing monopolies, namely, that of the article of food. If I am honoured by a majority of your votes, I shall de vote myself to a conscientious discharge of my duties to you and to the public. I am, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, CHARLES HOLLAND. TO THE ELECTORS OF ABERCROMBY WARD. GENTLEMEN, lIAVING accepted the in v it a ti on o f a large and influential body in your Ward, I offer myself a CANDIDATE, and solicit your votes for the honour of representing .0 in the Town Council. My politics are Liberal, and I have always be• . found as sociated with those who range themselves und= the banner of Civil and Religious Liberty. An ardent admirer of the Constitutio • under which we have the happiness to live, I am of °pi. i n that the unceas ing vigilance of the Reformer is essentia to the maintenance of its purity, and the undiminished enjoyment of its advan tages. Though a member of the Established Church, I am of Opi nion that no man ought to be deprived of, or tlimited in, his Civil Rights by reason of his Religious Tenets, provided they do not tend to the subversion of order and good government. Believing Education to be the best mode of enabling men to judge for themselves, and the surest protection against the attempts either of power or faction, I will do all in my power to promote its extension, which I think the Corpora tion Schools, as at present conducted, admirably adapted to effect. I consider the Corn-laws, as they now exist, to be equally impolitic and oppressive, and will continue to contribute my humble efforts for their amendment. My opinion is, and always has been, in favour of Free Trade. To the proposal of erecting Warehouses on the Dock Quays I give my cordial assent, and will do all in my power towards forwarding that object. Should the above sentiments meet the approval of such a majority of you as would be the means of placing me in the Council as your Representative, my unceasing efforts will be directed to promote the good of the Town and the interests of the Ward. THOMAS TODD. Abercronaby-equare, Oct. 3, 1840. TO THE BURGESSES OF RODNEY-STREET WARD. GENTLEMEN, HAVING been invit e d, by a v ery numerous and highly respectable Public Meeting of the Burgesses of your Ward, to offer myself as a CANDIDATE forjts represen tation in the TOWN COUNCIL, at the ensuing Municipal Election. I have now to solicit the hono of your Votes and interest in my favour. If elected, I will do all in my powe to promote those principles upon the maintenance of w s 'eh, I conscientiously believe, the welfare of this great t' wn, as well as of the country, mainly depends. I will . s port any proposition for Educating the Children of the r oor that is based upon a religious foundation, and is suss an one as the Rectors and the great body of the Establis ed Clergy of the town can approve and support : to all others, not so based, I will give my decided opposition, consequently I shall oppose the system now sanctioned by the Town -council. I will advocate strict economy in the management of the Corporate Estate, and will support opposition to any measure that I deem injurious to the trade or to the interests of the Burgesses, let it pro ceed from what quarter it may. I will vote for Warehouses on the Quays (as an experiment) to be erected, and managed by private individuals or by public companies, on the principle of the Herculaneum and Harrington Dock Companies ; but I will oppose the Trustees of the Docks (the Town-council of Liverpool, who are, and ought to be, solely, a municipal or governing body) being constituted into a Trading Com pany, to the detriment of various classes of master tradesmen. I will support any plan for the improvement of the town, or for promoting the health and comfort of the inhabitants, that shall receive the united sanction of the Town-council, of the Select-vestry, and of the Commissioners of Highways : thus securing the interests of all the inhabitants. To all other matters that may be brought under the con sideration of the council I will give my best attention, acting on the same principles and in the same manner as I have done during the last six years, a period in which I have had the honour to sit on several of the public boards of the town. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient and obliged Servant, WILLIAM BIRKETT. Wale/wired, ad OM, ND. *4 .4, ~•_ ~ .
