The bank on the Cawnpore,.side . being higher than :the other their proceedings were easily observed, and a few shots were thrown at them from the 24-pounders, but without pro ducing any effect,—indeed, without reaching across the river. Eventually the steamer got off, and returned uninjured. Meanwhile, of the imprisoned garrison of Lucknow we have heard but very little. That little, however, is all encouraging, though vague. They had undermined and blown up a house near the entrenchment, with a number of fanatics who occupied it, and then sallying out had spiked the two 18-pounder guns which the enemy Mel brought to bear upon them, though without doing much damage. Of the amount of provisions we hear nothing one way or the other. On the whole, I may repeat that we know of nothing tending to destroy, or even materially to affect, the confident hopes which, when I last wrote, were so generally entertained, not only on this side of India, but also at C ownpore and Allahabad, that this long-beleagured city will be relieved in lime to save many valuable lives and the hono or of Euglighwenien and of the English name. To the north and:west, in the great province of Malwa, things are looking sufficiently well. I have already alluded to the report of Scindia s raising new levies to intercept fugitives from Delhi. A letterfrom an officer at Indore, jest received, lies before me. Upon informa tion which ho considers relable he writes that on the 25th, and for five days previous, Scindia and the mutinied Contingent were at Gwalior face to face, each seeking to coerce the other. The Maharajah had his guns in position, and from 17.000 to 20,000, men of new and old levies strongly posted. He was unwilling to use force, I snppose, against such formid ob'e antagonists unless abso lutely forced to do so, and contented himself with holding tfiem in check, waiting probably for the fail of Delhi. If this be true he has doue us :good service, and has saved his sovereignty. Indore and Mhow are quiet. The sue. cession to the chieftanship of Ruttam has been:tranquilly settled, the disturbed little State of . Dhar is at rest again, and, more than all, the Muddesore insurrection, of„which I wrote in my last, is molting away to nothing. Thus in Malwa all is pretty well, nor in Rajpootana is there much amiss, save in the matter of the revolted J Luapora Legion. These rebels, when I left them a fortnight ago, were, you may remember, posted in a strong village called Awa, where Cololel Lawrence, as I had heard, hesitated or declined to attack them. However, he subsequently allowed the Raj sh of Joudpore to attempt the place with his troops, unwisely as it would seem, for the Rajah's men, if more numerous than his own, were of inferior materials. Accordingly their attack was repn'sed, and Mr. Monk Mason, the Commissioner, who accompanied them, was, it is feared, killed. Then Colonel Lawrence resolved hlmself to attack. On the 18th of September he led his small body of men from the 85th Foot, the Mhairwarra battalion, and the Bombay Lancers, with a half troop of Horse Artillery, against the enemy's position, which in the high standing corn was scarcely visible. The rebels had the guns of the legion, and made good practice with them. They were driven, ho vever, from two successive positions into the town, and there the triumphs of the day ended, for, the place being evidently unassailable, our troops were forced to draw off, without loss indeed, but no doubt considerably to the detriment of our prestige in the district. And that such an event should hare happened just where it did is particularly unfortunate, as being so near to the frontiers of Gazerat, where there are not a few petty chefs who bear the British rule no strong affection, and where one Bombay regiment, the 21 Grenadiers, has exhibited of late disaffection in its ranks. For the past fortnight we have had further disturbances in this Presidency, which constitute a drawback, though but a slight one, on the generally favourable character of the intelligence, and affn-d a contrast to the ;loyalty of the Madras army, still unstained, unless by the refusal of the Bth cavalry to proceed for service to Bengal, for which, by the way, all the suband trs and the native staff officers have been summarily dismissed the service. You may remember that I noted in my last that the native artillery at Hyderabad and Shikarpore in Sainde were thought to be wavering, and that aCcompany of Earo peen artillerymen had b >en sent up from Bombay in great haste to relieve them;of the guns which it was feared they might misuse. At Hyderabad, it was found necessary to take prompt measures without waiting for the arrival of the Europea s. Acting upon laformition derived from his subandar, Lieut. Battiscombe, commanding the com- . pany, applied to the brigadier, and by means of 1500 of the police and 100 picked men of the 13th Native Infantry, the golandas were disarmed ani the guns taken away into the fort. At_Shikarpore, some days later, some fifteen of the artillerymen got hold of the guns ona very dark night, and blazed away at nothing or anything, till driven away by the polic who fired at the flashes of the guns. One or two were killed, and the others decamped, only to be brought in dead or alive by the police or the villagers. Here and everywhere throughout Scinde the police have behaved admiraby. An affair at Kurrachee was more serious. There, one evening, a plot on the part of his regiment was disclosed to Major Macgregor, of the 21st Native Infanty, to rise that very night, murder the Europeans, and make of for Hyderabad. E eerything seems to have bee❑ adm:rably well managed. The 2nd Europeans (two companies only) and the Horse Artillery were ordered out at once, and the reg;ment were surprised. Some twenty-seven were missing, all of whomAhave since been executed or slain by the police or the villagers, and about the same number whose firelocks were found to be loaded, are to be trans ported for life. These men are thought to be, and perhaps are all the conspirators in the regiment, in which case the intended mutiny would be one of the Bombay as opposed to the Bengal type, where the predominence of low-caste and Concanee (or west coast) men, though not always sufficiently great entirely to preserve the corps from mutiny, seems to be able to prevent its infecting the whole body. Elsewhere throughout the Presidency we have been quite cutlet, if I except the case of the 2nd Grenadiers, to which I have already alluded, but which has hitherto exhibited nothing worse than a few deser tions and consevent imprisonments. By this time General Roberts, who commands in Guzerat, has got the 89:.h Foot at Ahmedabad, which will keep everything quiet ; and at Kurrachee the wing of the 4th, from the Mauritius has arrived. Here we have the left wing of the 93th, but the head-quarters are not yet heard of. They had not reached the Cape when the left wing sailed from it. I have received another letter from the officer attached to the mission at Teheran, of whose former communioa tion.l wrote in my last. I mention this letter because an absurd report has got about here, and may reach England (though you will know better at home through Constan tinople), that Mr. Murray has hauled down his flag. The mission was to start for Herat on the day after the date of my letter—the 18th of August. They expected t o reach that city in 40 dnys by caravan marches, almost precisely the sane as those of Ferrier, whose notes and information (the accuracy of which is. I believe, roundly denied at Teheran, and by his countrymen too) they will be able, an I are very desirous. to test.

Last evening Mr. Charles Moziey met the members •f his Committee at the Adelphi Hutel. Mr. T. S. RAFFLES, the Chairman presiled. There were several members of the Committee pr esent, but the meeting was, saiet'y speaking, one of a private nature. The CHAIRMAN said he wished it to be understood that this was not a meeting of the electors of the ward, but a me :,tine, merely, of 0(33 gentlemen of the Liberal party who, perhaps, take a deeper interest in the Liberal cause than others. They were merely watching, in order to be prepared for a contest, should one spring up at the e'eveath hour, which has been done in other wards, on some previous occasio is. At present he ha l heard of no oppcsition, and h 3 did not ex:eet any up to that time. He then introduced Mr. Moz!ey to the Committee. After a few introductory and complimentary observations, Mr. Monate apologised for not attending on a former occasion, but it was in consequence of his having under stood that on that evening there were several other ward meetings, and that it woul I he more crenvenient to hold it on some other night, therefore, he had left the tows to visit a part of his family is London. He assired them it was out of no disrespect to them, because he felt it an honour to meet then 03 all occasions. He likewise refered to his absence on the occasion when be was elected, but he had done so because he thought he had no right to interfere, but had left himself entirely in the heads of the burgesses, and if they thought him a fit and proper person to represent them, they would elect hits, for it was their undoubted right to use the franchise which hal been given them as they thought fit, end if they did elect him he was willing to become their representative, and to perform the duties to the best of his ability. He thought that it was the duty of re.nresentatives to give an account of their stewardship, but his ten 9: of 'office had been s; short that he had nut any opportunity of displ , ying three abilities that it was said he possessed. Indeed, he had b -en in the position, as the chairman would call it, of holding a " watching brief;" bat, during the time he hal been in the Council, he hid felt it his duty to attend each meeting and to take notes, not only of the state of parties, but also V every important question that had come under consid ra• lion. lie then britily alluded to the town ewes, whic 3, he said, had been conditionally arranged befne he went into the CAtecil, end had thus saved much time and troubl bat for his part, he only c. nsidered that measure an incipient measure, as many others of much greater magnitude world have to come before the Coe'ecil, and they should have his most seri us attention. (Chem ) He had taken a part in all the subjsc's that had been brought before the Council since he had held office, but the ope that bird created the greatest amount of interest and at tention,buth ia the Council and in the town, was th it deeply interesting subject-the a ipoly of wa er. (Hear, hear.) 01 shit point, he stated that the supply of the Riiingtoa water, was as ample, and all that was required, but in q a'i'y, he could say that it ors scarcely fit for the purpose s f u r which it Wag proposed to be put to, muchless for dietetic purposes. He th expressed his regret that the Council bad not a loptecl Mr. Aikin's resolution on the matte:, and 'that Mr. Jeffery ha I not divided the resolutions he bed proposed, far, had he done so he was of opiniou that it would have tended to simplify the subject. flaying expressed it as his opinion, that perhaps there might be some difileilty in having an alternate' Supply of th .e red roan letone, and the Rivinj - on, with one main set or pipes, Le w,s perfectly satisfied that the people had a sight. to h lee rector d to them the pure a7cl bright sandstone water, but he could not say the . , he was yet prepared, after the great expense already inc erred, to have a second line of rhote, and should hope that some means would be adopted so to purify the Pike water to make it fi for use ; but, it that c tail nut be done to the satisfac i et of the people, then he wood,notwidatending the exestise that it might incur, for it would have-to be pail by the ratepayers, he would at once aevonate the laying down a a end lite of pipes, and give to the people that which they asked for, anti that which they would not bee stifled without—:hat pure b aver age, the rod sandstone orate a of which they had been deprived. (Hear, hear.) He next raferrie I to the questiou of t're Town Dues, by which the C irporatioa estate will be d p.ived of a large fund, which it would be nec,ssary to meet, for the pu t ) , se of car yiog out the improvemente of the town. He was a Reformer, but so netirnes econ imical reforms proved injurious to the town at large, therefore he did h that •in wheeler reforms or improvements th y might undertake, whether far the to.vn or he port, that it would be done in such a spirit and in such a way as to reflect credit on the town. (Hear.) It rn"g it be c moldered by sa.ne that he should have teeen a in ire prominent part in the business of the Council, but he conceived that it was his first duty to ascertain which were the parties i i it, and he regretted to •ay, from all he had observed, that there was too much pi.rty spirit sh ,vsn in th • Calecil. He trusted that there would be some recorm in that point, and that they would m.rge all their party spirit and atel party teeling, and do oat} , that vrhicli wou'd be conducive to the interest of the town. (gear, hear.) • Mr. Mczley then concluded by thanking the elec ors for h tying honoured him by tending him to represent such an important ward as Rodney-street, and should they again do him the honour a second time, he would advocate thei rights. and at the expiration of the term of office, he Woa!d return the trust that hid been entrusted to him untaiated, to the source from whence it apru eg. (Hear, hear.) On the m ition of Mr. F. Hall, s ended by Mr. Heghes, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Mozley for the past vale ible seivices be hid ren iered to the burges3cas of the ward. Mr. MOSLEY briefly returned thanks. A vote of thanks to the Chairm4n concluded t'io business If the me„cing. • AHE ROB') BY WARD. A meeting of the friesds and supporters of Dr. Ander son, in the Abereromby %Va d, was held in the Hope Hal!, Hope-street, at lialt-p Ist ssven o'clock last night. There was a very numerous attendant a When the candidate, Dr. Anderson, came on the pletfortn, accompanied by some of his frende, he was received with loud applause. Among those prat et were—M sars. George Maxwell, R rhertsoa, GI adstone, William Earle, Dr. Hanna, Charles Wi ,mar, John Bigham, Dr. Lodge, and levers), o'her gentlemen cosnec'ed with the ward. Mr. GLADST NE moved that Mr. George Maxwell take tire Chair, which was seconded by Dr. Hausa, and carried by acilemation Tee CIifiRMAN introduced the subject of the meeting, impeeisiog upon those present that the importance of the questiou, and the inflaential character of the word, rendered it mos! imnereive that a fitting re n sh mid be chosen to repres nt the electors. 'Be complained of the dominant position occupied by ore party in the council at prere it, and 'poir; ted to the selection of thief magistrates and aldermen to !edify the character of that dominance. The g iverurneet of the co intry was liberal; the people's parlia ment was liberal ; the great innnicipalities of the leading towns were lib ; but the Town Council of Liverpool was not liberal It wawel a reformation, en) that re formatio'r he called upon the mertieg to aid in giving. (Cheers) What good measures, he asked, had ever come frr m the party now dominant in the Council ? if it rested with that party, such a maetiog as that over which he pre sided would neve:be he'd. (Cheers.) Abereromby Ward was fortunate in having among its representatives two distinguished ci:iz na. wh► were now on the platform. (C tee s) These gc ntlemen represented the liberal opinions of the ward, and, owing to their abili'ies and exertion., lib e ralism was the leading character of the representafi u of that ward. He tailed upon tl e meeting to ail tho'se gentlemen in their struggles in the Ihe:al caws by giving them a colleague qualified to support them. Su ,h a man he c'eclared they had it Dr. Anderson, who had issued an • addr s r which, while remarkable for its modesty, was the ablest he had seen put forward that year. lie refuted the objection commonly urged to medical men taking sea's in municipal corporations, and stated that.he was aw e, from his knowledge of D:. Anderson, that that gentleman was as much a proficient in fiecees as if he had served seven years in a merchan:.'e ffice. There was a great teal to be known about the great C ,rporati >n esta e. The ra'epeyers would like to keeve what they had and what hey he,l not. Considerable time back an account of the corporate estate had been moved for •by one of their ablest citizen., and aerie never was a stronger iestance of the dominance of a party in the Council than the fact that that account had rot yet been produced. He wee su - prised to see that their opponent in that ward stated in that very hall a few nights since, that such an account would cost labour and expense, and that he could not see the use of it. (Laughter) If the account had be n moved for by the dominant party, it would, no doubt, have been produced long ago ; bu' a'though no actual objection seemed to be made to it, the account, was not yet forthcoming. Now, Dr. Anderson was a man who was capable of directing at'ention to such subjects as this, and of rendering valueb'e assistance to the ird penitent Libe ale in the Town Council. He recommended D . Anderson as a man of liberal and en lightened opinions, a maa ef ability and character, who would go into the Council not pledged to any particular measures, but of whose return es their representative to the Council room none of these who helped to elect him would ever have mire to repent. . (Cheers.) With some further obser vatic ns on the nature et the struggle in which they were about to be engaged, and the character of the gentleman they had been fortunate enough to ti id as a candP ate, the chairman concluded his address a nid loud applause. Mr. ALLsoP moved the first resolution, which was to he effect that it si as absolutely necessa7 at the present period, when great questions, deeply affecting the interests of the inhabitants of the town, must come before the Council, that a gentleman should be returned as represen- THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1857. tative for the ward, who on those questiens as well as others would enforce the views of the great body of the electors. He observed that the opposi ian candi late belonged to a party who had long since become effete and obselete. It was the "stand-still party" —(l4ngla'er)—an I while main taining those on the top of the ladder who were so fortunate as to b there, would preaeh patience to the pour at the bottom. (Latuhter.) He had co sympathy with sue , a party, but would rather more along with the spirit of :ha age, which was th it of progress ani r, form. The candidate who wouli come behre them th at night was not of the "stani-still party." (Hear, hear.) He was a maa of progress, but yet entertained no extrema vie ye, and was identifiod with the party who had taken up though they had not yet fully derelooed the idea of the s tcredness of human nature. To rote for such a man he would deem an honour, as he would also consider Viat the ward would be efficie;:tly and worthily represented by such a represe.a ta,ive. (Haar, bear.) The motion having ben secondel, was unanimously adopted. The CHAIRAItx then presented to the meeting the can di fate, Dr. . A ndenon. Dr. ANDICItiON, upon rising, was received with loud and enthusiastic applause. lla sai I : Mr. Cisirman arid gentl-men, I beg you will first of all permit• ma to return my most grateul thanks to you, sir,' and to those gen lemen ho have so kindly aid w a rmly brought my name brf re this meeting, for the manner in which they hive done to. I feel most grateful to Heim, and I feel als , ) most gr vein' to you !or the kind mann •r in which yo t have received their n-m'netioP. I know very well, gentlemen, that I deserve much less of you than you have been kin I euoug,,h to ispress. I know that much I hive heard frmn you, depends m •re upon the cause than upon the peron. And with that kin vledge, all my effnits shall be to j is ify your kindness, by en leavou inn to d 3 the best I (3 In hereafter to serve you if you put it in my power. (Cheers.) I eAn assure you, sir, and this meeting, that my position here befo:e you is a most unexpe.aed one to me I' is but two or three days ago since I knew anything at, all about the p. siihility of my being p'aead in this situation, an I it' bas equally undeseived and au wished fir. have no ambition at all to be placed before you, or to e ime,belAre you ss a eau dflate to represent yiu in the Town Ccuneit. S teb an ambition his never been m'ne,_and when the re'vest was rnide to In: ti become a candidate for the position of your repr seniativo, 1 can assure von it gave me a great deal of nervousness and trouble. It was to Me a very pai iful. clnsilerajon ; I knew the difficulties, and the 1 incu-s which the whole itiv;ved. Fi St, the difficulties, D rhaps, of the election. We were very late in the field. For the list th - e 3 weeks you have h,id a candidate before you who was expected to walk quietly over the ceuree. He had had a large, and, they say, an influential requisilon ptesen ed to him, got op, of co tree, without any op , orition, by yes, the n hole fi 11 being open to him, when, if we started, we had but, three or four days for the purpose of canveseing the electors There was very great, danger to the Liberal sense, which, perhaps, we were about to expose to a defeat, Bu`, however, lerviog considered all the c'reumstances. :tett h iving rememb red that I myself, felt indignant that some candidate had not been long before brought forward to represent the LiSeral opinions of the ward ; inclined, sometimes to blame the C iminitteo, who, I now know, a-e net to be b'arnyd at All ; inclined to blame the gentlemen who had it iu their power to repres nt you in the Council fir better than ever I can expect to do—having remembered, as I say, the indignation which I feel burning in my own heart, aad which sometimes, perhaps, I expressed to my own friends on the subject, then, when the proposition was made to me, I could not bat reflect that it would be cowardice on my part if, having heard that at that late hear, the liberal cause might possibly depend upon my answer, I were to reply to the proposition made to mc—" No." (II ar, bear, a n d loud cheers.) I could not bring myself to do so. (Cheers) I put myself into their harvls—l am new in yours. sad it is fur you to say whether I did right or whe'her 1 did wrong. (Cheers.) I believe is is necessary that 1 she ill melte some cattle, ion of [Aida here. I am not at ill unveiling to do so, for I have nothing to cone al, po'hing to hide io the priocipl a which I hash) ever upheld. When I begau life, from the very first time that I was able to understand the public jeep - mils. I became ena moured of the noble character of Lord Grey, and of Lerd Hol'and, and the position they held in the House of Lords. At teat line, now nearly forty years ago, the Liberal party of the c )uetry, dejected, mortified, disap pointed, had abandoned all opposiion to the absolute powers of the Sate to the dom.neerieg power of the Gev eminent, and these two peers, in the horse of Lerds, stood ;Ilene to represent the Liberal feelings of the country, (Cheers.) Such an impression did the speeches of these eoble lords make upon me at the time, that I have never fo gat:en it. It stands bitore me now as vividly as at the rneanent when I first read the tip eches. Their sentiments were so noble, their position altogether seemed to be so .lefty, their opnioas so liberal, so ju,t, so go id, that at once I was converted, and I have remained the same from that day, rest 1 this. (L mad dace. s ) Fur thirty yea-s, or there abouts, I have been a resident of this to vn, and for 'those thirty years I have joined in upholding all the measures which you, gentlemen, as Libeials, have been cone :reed in suoportirg. Invariably, my votes for parliamentary repre• irritation, and for the representation in your Council, have been given in the same d'nmi in until a few years ago. when all Vie great qnesti ma having been sw2pt away which avided Whigs from Tries, there arose a totally d:iferent state of things, and men scarcely knew who wcra friends, and who were foes. Thinza are beginning to settle down now again, and we shall know who's who. (Laughter.) My only object le is been, during all that time, to serve the cause of Liberalis n. Let me ask yns, g l inemen, what it it we have to contend fur, and what we are contending for? I think the whele pr . nciple is involved in one expresq. an which I have already used in my aedress—it is to ask f.tr !'air p'ay. (Ohms.) There is no doubt of the feet, as has been already mentioned by our worthy chairman, that throughout this town the Liberals are the greater n imber. Is it not, then, right ;hat we should have a fair proportion of the . pyivtleges which attach to oar numb. rs ? (Hear, hear.) II .ve we not a fair right to a Aare of all that is to be obtained of the advent •ges and privileg:s connected with our municipal organisation ? (Hear, Lear.) Have we had that fa'r p'ay in the Council, for instance, wide regard to the honour of the C Julien ? I say, we certainly have not. (Hear, hear.) For many years past you have seen m'n who h ye grown, grey is the service of their fellow c .ns, were adorned by every good quaity, 1 ber .1, generoue. and public sellited to the grea'est d ert.-e ; yet, have se these men put aside, and young men ' 'bel 'raging to the opposite par.y, of infinitely less pr4eneons than th sr I have mentioned, put iota the civic ch a ir. (hear,hear.) Let me mention to you one ins anc e —'he respected. name of our f..-ilor-•owasnan, James Aikin. (Loud cheers.) Is he not a man ash, has distinguished himself f th most consistent LiberaLsrn during a series of years. (Hea . , hear.) Is he not a man who has been coespica.: , ,us far liberality and benevolence ? bear.) Is he not A man to whom we may, in a great mes.ure, attribute the co , n la ion of cur Sailors' Home, of our kibar Reformatory, and whoa • benevolence, in fac', has ext,nded darin:7 a long course of years over ev,rything cenn-cted with the, charities of the totvn. (Hear, hear, and Laud cheers.) And yet such a man was set aside, while you ,e r men, of uo such urAnsioos, h eve been raised bef..re him. (Hear, hear.) I say ,that is not fair play.

(Rear, h ear.) Do you think it is not their desert ? Jiet us travel back, for a few wieutes, in !be his'ory of the country. Who were they, who many years ago, suffered etraneportation, arol evert capital punishment, in order to rnaintan liberty of spetch and th, freedom of the pre.s ? I think you neer, at once answer me—the Liberals. (Heir, hear.) Who w's it that brought forward he great qnestion of reform in the representation of the c suntry ? Wes it not again the Liberals giving to you the ptivile :es which you now enjoy ? Who was it that passed the Act of Catholic Einancipatter ? (Lon I cheers.) Peril - a pa you wit sty that it was Wellington and Peel, but 1 say they dal n more than carry the measures of the Liberals. (Hear, hear ) Finding- that they could no longer res'et The mea tire with safety, they took it nut of the hands of the Liberals—ir is a e ay they had (lavail er) —but whose measure was it ? I say it w. s the me asure of the Whigs. (near, hear.) Wh was it that Laboured so hard for the emancipation of the slave ? It was the Liberals. (Hear, hear ) Wao was it again who brought forward the great me stt-e which closes he series—',he measure for the repeal of the Corn Laws ? (Cheers.) Again it was the Liberals. (Hear, bear.) Well,' after this s'eort enumeration what would you thins of this passage which I take from the Speech of my most res - petted en'aeonist oa this occasion ? With regard to that gentleman frnust sly that I esteem him highly, I con dier him a most exeellent and ami able genthm an, but at the same time I mast add thatev:th his opinions I have no sympathy, (Herr, hear.) The passage, however, to which I wish to rater is that on which my antagonist says that " there is an inclination towards a more Conservative feeling on the part of the Liberals." (Laughter). It ap pears to me that those men are the most Conservative who ' effect the preservation of that which they have to do with, (hear, bear.) : nd in that light are not - he Liberals:the t-ue Conservatees of the country ? (Hear, hear.) The object of 'much assertions is, however, plait. It is an atteneet to I do that which was well characterised by one of 'he Tory leaders— it is an attempt to steal our clot* end make their appearance as the tract COSSITStiVeII of the country, is fact as Liberals; bat, so fir as my opinion goes I think the clothes seem to fit them very badly. (Ilaar; hear, and laughter.) Liberalism and Toryism are distinctly two different things. Liberalism looks to the good of the maoy—Toryism links and has always looked to the elevation of the few—(cheers) —and so len; as that principle remains, we shall always base a strong distinction between Whiz.; aed Tories—between Liberals and Co2servai re.. I hivelhui spoken egeneral mat era io ()Her (hit you miy know my general opinions upon politica; and I shall now coin to miters conae.lted wi h our local insti ut ons. (flear, hear.) Firs: of all, I would refer to the Water question. (El iar; hear, and and cheers.) From the very first I was adverse to that measure. (am, heir.) Ito ,ked at the coloar of the water with suspici w , and I tasted its fl avour w ith disrelish.- (Elea-, heir.) It did not require any philosopher or chenrst to tell us that . the water would be soft. (Rear, bear, tied laughter ) Eviry one kooiCs that water de rived from the atmosphere will bi soft, aril all those long reports which we have seen_ on that subject I thought were just so much trwih. We know well th it - the water is sort —we kilos that the spings un - ler ,oar feet contain a arnoult of earthy muter, but w sat batter are we likely to hi for get iig this soft water? We were told that it would:be mich batter for minufacturing and washing purpres, and cilcalations were aCtu illy made to show how much it would save the to wri in soap—(laughter) —but unfortunately fir thi advicstes of the Pike, the washerw imea of the town canclentsu the water fir washing. (Hear, hear.) A VniCE : What will William Eirle say ? (Laughter ) Dr. Asnicasort id( now as a tnadical in in, and I am of opinion, that. fur die e ie purposes wz , were mush hitter of wta our spr.ng water than with the Pike. (Cheers.) The mote you deprive water of its earthy teem nts the worse it is, that is pr vided it is not enormously charged with such materials. In t'ae ord:nary cinlitien in wbinh our springs ere generally found, the more you deprive them of the qualEies they derive from their transitthroagh the stratification - throul.h which they p ass, the liaise izible are they for the purposli of health and life; and if you go on to bring it to that purity of which chemists speak, end deprive it of' evervthiroi but its simple dements, yOu teen make it abs unfit for the drink of man. We h ire, however, gone to e ;0ra:toil; cost to procure this weer, slut clear we must use it. Moreover, I ern sati had it maybe ma le very useful for the town for a grc ma. y purp ;ses, but let us acyly it to tit .t purpose, and, the simi time, let ns not—tor it would' be a cru+y au l , and I think a sin t) do so----leprire the inhabi tants of drinking, aad general domestic purposes of that lux Irious spring water which is ftising in torrenti bmeath our feet. (A.pnlanie.) I heard soma %liu ion nude to t`Ji name of Mr. Earle. (Caeers.) I Le'. perftttly s tisflAti, that wl.oei - er• wAs at the bottom of th;s scheme in the first instance, such men as William E trle, Jim :es Rathbone, end others who were in the C tuna! at lie tim and who sep2orted the project, did it from the moit honest and most excellent motives that could actuate any men. (loon! cheeril) The water came, and it was bade and we were then called upon to give it time. we were toll to wait unit the works had settled, until the filters hal bccome pure, until the pipes had b 'came clear. Well, did wait, bit the logger we w ited the more we were disappointed, for there was not the slightest improve ment in the water. (liter, heat.) We are now agtin told to wait for some new system of filtration and reports from eh -insists ; b .t, in my opinion, it w:11 be only to throw m ire inoney away, while, meantime, there is an ahundaece or pare water which we desire to h ave. (Hear, hear.) lit u , rn und-rstaad, from what have said, that I have been. from the first, opposed to this Pike-water, and that I think we are entitled to the soring water beneath our feet for dietetic purposes, and . if you cho ,se to elect me I will de me best t i obtaM it for you..
