HAVE much pleasure in accedi ng t o th e w i s h o f th e Deputation presenting a Requi s iti on f rom so many in uential members of your Ward, and beg to place my services at your disposal. Should it be your pleasure to elect me one of your Represen tatives in the Town Council, on the Ist November, it will be my study to merit your confidence by a diligent attention to the onerous and responsible duties which wih devolve-upon me. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient Servant, J. G. LIVINGSTON. Mayfield, Wavertree, 20th October, 1859. 3024 TO THE MUNICIPAL ELECTORS OF SOUTH TOXTETH WARD. GENTLF,MEN, MY Terni of Office, as one of your Representatives in the Town Council, will expire on the Ist November. Having 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 me in a faithful and eon scient ons manner, by a regular attendance at the different committees on which I was placed, and in taking an active part ix 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, A influential deputation having waited on me to request I would allow myself to be nominated as a Can 'date for your Ward at the ensuing Municipal Election, I have with much pleasure accedefil 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 services. My religious and political principles being well known to you, 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, Gentlemen, Your faithful servant, CHAS. FREDK. CARNE. Exchanire Alley North, Liverpool, 20th October, 1859. EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD.

TO THE BURGESSES OF VAUXHALL WARD. GENTLEMEN, HAVING been waited upon by a large and influential Deputation of your body with a Requisition very numerously signed, inviting me again to become a Candidate to represent your Ward ix the Town Council, I acceded to the request, and at once placed my services at your disposal. During the time which I have had the honour of represent ing your interests, I have carefully watched every movement made, which had for its object the better government of the Corporate Estate, the reform of every system of management not based on sound and satisfactory principles ; and I have endeavoured to promote and further every useful measure cal culated to increase our Corporate revenue, in order that such improvements as are really necessiry to meet the growing wants of our largely-increasing trade might be effectually carried out. That great and important improvements are required, not only in this Ward, but throughout the town generally, must be self-evident. 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 prou ; position which I have heretofore held, I will endeavour steadfastly to pursue that course of procedure which has given so much satisfaction to you, and whicl4, by your desire, I wish fully to maintain, and carry out judiciously all the necessary requirements of the ratepayers... I have the honouf to be, gentlemen, your faitkful and obe dient servant, JOHN SHIMMIN. 150, Islington, Liverpool, Ist Octsber, 1859. TO THE BURGESSES OF SOUTH TOXTETH WARD. GENTLEMEN, TIAYING been solicited by a respectable deputation to permit myself to be nominated as a CANDIDATE at t e ensuing Municipal Election, I have come to the resolution, though with much diffidence, of acceding to the request. From a residence in the Park of nearly 20 years, and from the nature of my business engagements during that lengthened period, I trust I have gained a knowledge of its varied capabi lities and requirements. In matters of a practical nature affecting the value of pro perty, and the sanitary condition of the ward, I should be enabled to confer benefit on the ratepayers beyond those whose knowledge in this respect is purely - theoretical. . . Sprung from the people, if will - at all times be my anxious desire to promote the happiness and prosperity of my fellow townsmen, and particularly to advance, by all educational, social, and recreative measures, the condition of the artizan and labouring population. I am of opinion that all public and private property should bear a fair proportion of local taxation. In politics I am,liberally Conservative, ready to extend to all who conscientiously differ from me the same rights and privi leges and the same independence of action I claim for myself. Though disposed to advance with the spirit of the times, and to reform with unsparing hand all acknowledged abuses, I trust I shall always be found the honest, though humble, pro tector of our admirable and time-honoured constitution. Having ample leisure, I shall, if elected, devote my time and energies to the service of the town to which I am under such deep obligations, and where the results of my labours are prin cipally invested.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient, humble servant, ALEXANDER MILLER. 80, Miles-street, Toxteth-pa-k, Oct. 22, 1859.

Sec., TO THE BURGESSES OF ABERCROMBY, GREAT GEORGE, LIME-STREET, AND WEST DERBY WARDS. FELLOW BURGESSES, , . WORDS are inadequate to express my disgust at the apathetic feeling which pervades your Wards at this particular crisis : I allude to your want of energy . in not bringing forward candidates of Conservative principles to represent you on the Ist of November next. What, may I ask, is the cause of your indifference to the principles which you profess to enunciate ? Has some powerful narcotic been infused into your systems ? or have fair promises (made only to be broken) been held out to you ? To my mind it seems most suicidal that you should allow your adversaries to exer cise such an unlimited sway over you. I entreat, I implore of you, in the name of common sense, for the sake of those grand and noble principles which you profess to follow, to throw off the shackles of despotism and republicanism, and be deter mined to preserve the grand bulwark of our constitution. This you can only effect by returning true Conservatives in the stead of out-lying and deceptive Radicals, at the forthcoming Municipal Election. I am, Fellow Burgesses, your obedient Servant, London-road, October 22, 1859 THOMAS 'BANNER TO THE ELECTORS OF EXCHANGE WARD GENTLEMEN, HAVING received 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.

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 discharge 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 ynur 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 offered myself as a candidate for your suffrages, have certainly not diminished in importance ; nor do they re quire less unremitting attention on the part of your represen tatives. The Town Dues question has been settled, if 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 assail an t s enjoy their private estateswe have obtained some compensation,though 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 inflicts 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 of sage 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 eye on the proceedings of the Dock Board; and the Council-Chamber is certainly tile place in which he should direct the public attention to these proceedings whenever he considers it necessary . so to 'And 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 arise, I trust that I shall never be found 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 property, 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 sentiments 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 zealaus 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. JEFFERY. Compton-house, October 3, 1859. TO THE BURGESSES OF EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD. GENTLEMEN, TIDY Lapse of time, my occupancy of the honourable XI 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 and honestly endeavoured on all questions affecting either the interest of the town in general, or your 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 have 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 gave me your confidence.

I will not presume to follcw the example of my vain-glorious opponent by lauding myself to the skies, or endeavouring to gull you into the belief that I have been the saviour and regenerator of Liverpool, although it is a notorious fact that he, and his twin brother in all political jobs, were, by their uncalled-for interference, the means of depriving the people of Liverpool of 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 am an advocate for the Rating of the Docks, as I consider they ought t o b ear t h e i r 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 - apptdring 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 best exe:tions in your behalf, and that of the town in general. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, JOHN West Derby -street, Liv er p oo l , 21 st October, 1859. WILSON 'LIME-STREET WARD.

JAMES EVANS, Vic?-Chairman. • Oct. 24, 1859. W. T. MAY, Hon. Sec. TO THE ELECTORS OF Sr. ANNE'S WARD. - GENTLEMEN, Ihave been asked by a most influential deputation from your ward to allow myself to be placed in nomina tion for the scat in the Council abut to be vacated by your 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 hi 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 receive 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" has 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 and 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 lasting ornament to your ward. I hope soon, too, to see a branch of the Liverpool Savings Bank established in this part of the town, convinced that tke 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 years, and over which my grandfather presided as chief magistrate upwards of half a century ago--- it will 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 A SPI NALL. 3, Union-court, Castle-street, Live] p )01. twfn o I TO THE ELECTORS OF WEST DERBY WARD. ____-- -..........-. GENTLEMEN, eHAVING been honoured with an invitatio n t o o ff er myself for Re-election as one of your Rep resen t a ti ves t Town 'Council, I feel called upon by a due appreciation of the kindness and consideration I have uniformly received from you during the last six years, again to place my services at your disposal. Since my last - election, the most important event in the annals of the Corporation has taken place. I allude to the transfer of our Town Dues. As a member of the committee specially charged with the settlement of this question, I joined my colleagues in an anxious endeavour to arrange as satis factory a commutation as powerful adverse influences would permit. .. .. . . . . To all the other questions which have engaged the attention of the Council I have ever given my best consideration. I am not aware that there is any particular subject now occupying attention, on which it is necessary that I should here express my opinion. . - I may be allowed to remark, that believing, as I have always done, that self-government in its various .forms is the main bulwark of our civil and religious freedom, I shall strenuously endeavour to preserve our municipal powers as amongst the most cherished rights of Englishmen. If it be your pleasure to send me to the Council for the third time as one of your members, I shall embark on my new career with a determination -to pursue the path which I originally marked out for myself, of a zealous attention to each subject presented to the Council or its Committees, unin fluenced by those extraneous elements which ought not, in my "opinion, to be imported into the consideration of questions of a purely local and special character. The wants of your ward and of Lair town generally shall be my only landmarks. • I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your faithful servant, FRANCIS A.

In hundreds of cases such things cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary and effective invention, by Mr. Adshead of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal m a perfect manner, all cracks and breaks in the articles spoken of, and not only in these, but in marble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not be dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's ' and the glass that has been cemented by it i s stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very cheap, and no house can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the agent for its sale in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for themselves by looking in at his establishment.

FEARFUL GUN ACCIDENT.—A fatal accident from a gunshot wound occurred at Scragglethorpe ' ne ar Mallon, on Sunday. A lad named D a le, of ScraLingham , sixteen years of age, in the service of Mr. Hawkins, farmer, proceeded to a field where another youth was tending cows from the newly sown wheat, having with him a loaded gun. Dale desired to have the gun, in order to shoot at a bird, and was twice refused. At length, however, he seized the gun, near the muzzle, and a struggle for possession of it ensued between the two lads. They were near a hedge, and a twig from which chancing to catch the hammer, the contents of the piece were discharged into Dale's body, near the heart. The poor lad survived the accident nearly half-an-hour. OCTOBER 26, 1859.: BIRKENHEAD COUNTY COURT. GRIFFITH V. MONIC—This was an action brought to recover the sum of £3O, for bodily injuries, &c., which the plaintiff received through alleged carelessness on the part of the defendant, his employer. From the evidence of Mr. Griffith and his fellow-workmen, it appeared that he was engaged in excavating earth, for the purpose of sewering , at Egremont. In course of the excavation, it was found necessary to erect scaffolds to hold the soil till it could be carted away. On the day in question, the scaffold immediately above the plaintiff gave way, and fell upon him, crushing his body and injuring him to such an extent that he was obliged to remain more than six weeks in the hospital, thus losing his wages during that time, and being besides unable to obtain further employment.—A number of witnesses were called to prove that the scaffold was net• sufficiently secure, not being supported by props from. the ground.—ln cross-examination, however, several ot the witnesses stated that the scaffold was sufficiently secure, .had not the workmen overloaded it. --A verdict. was, therefore, ~ ,i ven for the defendant. AN IRISH MORSE-DEALER.—The plaintiff in this case was Mr. Oliver, an Irishman, who came over to Liverpool some time ago, bringing with him a horse. The action was brought to recover the sum of £24, for which the horse was sold to Mr. Hicks. The plaintiff, wishing to sell his horse, applied to Mr. Hicks in Apri l last, who said his son would most likely purchase it. The plaintiff accordingly went to Mr. Hicks on the follosieg Saturday, when he says it was arranged that the horse should be sold for £24, £lO of which was to be paid immediately, and the remaining £l4 next May. At the' time this bargain was made, plaintiff received 2s. 6d. as earnest of contract. On the Monday, howelT r r plaintiff, having chan ge d hi s m i n d, wen t t o M r .

DEATH OF A CHILD FROM CHORINCL—On Wednesday last, whilst a little boy nine years of age, son of Mr. James Alves, watchmaker, Scotland, was playing abeth` his father's shop, he lifted a amall screw nail and put it , into his mouth, when, unfortunately, it got into his gullet, and although medical aid was immediately sok foil it was 'of no avail, and he died in a few minutes. FIRE IN A COTTON MILL AT OLDHAM.—On Monday morning, about a quarter-past eleven, a fire broke (Mt in the opening room of Messrs. Robinson and Winter bottom's mill, West End, Oldham.

FRANCE AND ITS R AILWAYS.—The publishes a long article on the works of general utility which the peace will enable France to undertake ; 01) .* among the rest specifies the new railway lines now 1 . 4 progress or in contemplation. It adverts with justi fiable„_ satisfaction to the, rapidity with which such Ivo r ' have been executed in France, after an undue delay at first, and points to the fact that the extent of ra il way communication in the country is now greater than in Great Britain. It says :—" France under the influ ence of the Imperial Government has been able to ,re pair the time lost at first in discussions as to the triod e of execution, and subsequently in political revolutio.ns._, We now possess 8,700 kilometers of railway (the kil u h , metre is five-eighths of a mile), which have cost nearly 4,000,000,000 francs—of which 3,250,000,000 frank', were raised by companies, and 750,000,000 francs I' ? the State.
