A very melancholy list of casualties at sea, resulting from the f arfal gale of Thursday night, was commundsate 1 to Lloyd's on . Saturday. The storms raged with fearful violence on the east coast, and between the Spurn and the Swin some twenty vessels, some of a large class, were lost with, we regretjo add, a very lamen'able sac.iffce of lifee The gale commenced early on Thursday from the north-east, and as the even'ng advanced the wind increased to the fury of a hurricane, with heavy rain. On the sands off Yarmouth there were several fatal ca'astrophee involving aloes of nearly foe ty lives. The ship Oatari s, Capt. Balfour, which was wrecked on the Berber Sands, has already been announced by te'egraph. She vas a large ship, upwar Is of 603 tone, and under a charter to ca - ry a cargo of coal to Suez for the steamers engaged in the Indian service of the tzninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. She left the Tyne lathe eerly part of the week, and had male the north end of Yarmouth Seeds, when she encountered the fall fo cc of the element. At length, about 11 o'clock, the gale being a' its height, the ill-fated ship struck upon the Barber 'ands, and tee next minute or so tremendous seas broke over her, beating her on the shoal wth great force. The craw took to t' e rigging, bet the -hip speedily going to pieces, tile whole of t . em, Ind ding „B elfeur, the Cept Ain's wire, with the exception of Mr. C. W. Robertson, the chef mate, perishe I. Mr. obertsen, on being ca't into the sea, succeeded in catching hold of a piece o' plank , upon which he floated for some t No or three hours, when ha drifte t ashore near Caister, but in a very exhausted condition. The remains of Mrs. "alb ir and one of the seamen have sine been washed on the beach. Two or three hours later than the above loss, tyre ships, one the Neapolitan bargee Leone a'so from the Tyne, bound to Pe'ermo, and the South Durham, &atter master, for London, from Sunderland, went upon the North Scroby Sind, and, owing to the gale which was raging, they toth soon went to pieces. Only two of the South Durham were saved, Capt. &utter and five of his hau's meet . rg s watery grave. Those of the Leone were more fortunate; th ey were rescued by the Emperor tug although much exhausted ; but the over sea pilot, Tho mss Davison, of Shia:O., who had charge of the ship, I ;ey s ero Rued. Another Parfet ship wreck occurred off Wirterton. The brig Z Pah, Watson master, bound to London from Hartlepool, was driven ashen. He- sails were blown away, and she went on the beach with a fearful surf ren nin; over her. Thee of the crew were rescued by rocket lines being Orel over the wreck, after some hears' exposures bat Mr. Wets-in, his mote, and four of the hands mat with a watery grave. The ship went to pieces. There were many other Tree schooner Argo, from Sunderland, bound to Yarmouth, WAS driven ashore, but the crew ware preseived in their own bolts. Another wreck happened on the Sere'); to the brig Robert and Dean, for St. Mslo, from the Wear, bat the crew were a'so ewe 1. At the neighbonring port, Lowestoft, there were many disasters. The schooner Brother, from Hertlep to Southwold, fonnlerel in the Smith Route Between Yarmouth and Cromer a quantity of wreck was seen, and a brig is sunk insi le assborough Sant A Nor wegiee barqna, hien with deals, the Henrik Da ; oats Minds, from B -evie, bound to Fechamp, near Ha ire, was totally lost on the Ha eberoneh Sand. Towards Alborough, Howie], and the Swin, the same fearful we ither was experienced . A numl'er of disable ships pat into Harwich harbour ; and off Aldborough, the echo :ner Mary, Sampson master, bound to Milton from Hartlepool, went down. The loss of several sh'ps by collision is reported. Off Hasborough the Albeit steamer came in collision with the Catherine, of Whitby, bound to London frim Hartlepool, and the latter went down with two of her crew. 0/ Dunlington the Sir Char'es :Napier, b3unl to t nue eeand, ran late the Vic, et, for Bou'ogne, and the crew of the latter got on board the barque. The accounts from Hell, Brid'ington, Sun leeland, and other ports on that range of coast, spat of the gale h tying been very severe, and it is feered that more sal losses have yet to be reported. DRUNK AND INCAPABLE' At the Southwark p'slice-cout, M. George Unwin, umbrella manufacturer, of Sheffield, was charged with being foand in the street drunk and incapable, having in his posse ,sioa a valuable gold w tch and chain, a diamond pin, a cheque for £3 I)'., and other property. Scannell, 117 If said he found the defendant drun t and incapable of taking care of himself, in the Porough, at 12 o'elook on the previous night. He was surrounds' by the wo •st of thews and prostitute., and wonli hers been robbed had not wi'ness taken him to the station-hoase and locked im np. The defend ant indignmtly denie 1 the charge. He was no` drunk, or e-en ander the influence of liquor at the time; and he Vasught it a great piece of impatience for the police interfering with him. Inspector Moore, M. division, said be was passing al'ag the Borough at the time, when he saw the defendant drank and incapabas, at the same time an rounded by a a number of thieves and prostitutes. Ho directed the constable to take him `o the station-house, and when there it was found ha had in his poss . ssioa a gala wateh, chats, dia-eoad pin, and a cirque for £3 10t, besides soma gold and si'var money, all of wit:eh no doubt he would have lost bad le not loaron taken care of. Mr. Coombe (to the prisoner)—l see by the charge-sit - et that you have given year aldreas, " Mr. 02man, General Post 0 Mco." How is that ? Are you c. connected with that est ibl shment ? Defendant—Oh, no, no. I am% merchant, and live at Shefield. Mr Combs —Then how came you to pat yoar address down " General Post Office ?" Defendant—Recluse I always put up at ,the Lord Raglan nearly opposite. I thought that was near enough. Mr. Combs—That Is enough to mislead any oats and I should advise you when you get drunk again to give )oar proper address, if you can. You are now tined se, the uival dran%ard's doe. Defendant—That's too bad. I was not drunk, and I don't thank the pollee for interfer- Lsg with me. Mr. Combe —Why you would have lost .everythinr you had, hat it not been for th e po'ice. I think you ought to be tnaakful to them. Defendant (p lying th due) —I cols'der I am being robbed of this by the police. Mr. Combe.—You are an ungrate• fal man. There ctobe no doubt that you were drank. Go along with you, sir. s CHARGE OF PRO3ELYMM AT THE SEA BATEIING INFIEYRRY, AIskaGATE. At the rneethog of the Maryleheae Poo! Law Guardians on Friday, a letter was real from one of the inmate of the workh euse, who had lately re urned from the Royal Sea Bathing harm erg, Afazgate, whi h the hal b en sent as a patient by the Cae lie d officers of the werklion.e. The writer, a man nature' Thomas Conway, charged the officers of the Sea-Bathing laf•mary with h twins treated him unkindly, and neglected because he happens l to be a Roman Cat :olio. He commenced his cominanicatioa by hopin; that the directors and guardians would, with their characteristic generosity, pnvent, in future, a galling and lasuiting scheme of proselytism, and went on to state that the day after he arrived at Margate, it being Sand y, a Inmate officer b begin; to t le infirmary entered the ward i , which he was lyinr, eel how ne want .d him, asked him on perceiving he was readin; his prayer book, if it was tae proper form of rvayer which h 3 was r adin;, al I as h hal else his Bibie w.th him (the Vouay version) she asked him tto s tme q met on aho•et that, when he rept el that he had re i.her the b3CA. of Common Prayer nor th • authorised ve-sian of the Scriptures, bat the pr e 3 ere and version of th • Scriptures sanctioned by his owe churn—th- Church of Rome. Upo s that she gave an opinion that he would not bs allowed to read any other than the revelar form of prayers. At the same time she laid down the books, stating t to matter aboall lea reported to the superintendent. She subsequently came t him lead t Id him not to take h's hocks out of his box alai she had made known to the chaplain that h 3 had net the araper d3V stleaal book I with him. An unpi •asal' discusCoa of er wards arose, in which it was heti nate I to him that he went.' not be alLavel to re main in the institution, as it was feared he might, with Polish doctrines, con taminate the other patients. He was, however, supp'i:d with a book exposing "the errors of Popery from the dawn of Cnristianity down to the pr-sent time;" anti he was te . cl that if he continued to adhere to the doctrhoss of the Church o 7 Rom • his soul would be loot for ever. die was also Wormed that if he did no consent go to church he shou•d have to be sent home, and to that d,ternative he w llingly consented rather than become an apostate to his creed. The Roman Catholic Bible he hod with him was examined, and the notes in exPlanat'on of the text were condemned as moot ddmnable. The writer then want on to say, alluding to the conduct of particular offi m-s of the estab lishmeat at Margo e. that he hal b ten fro n time to time most grossly insal•el. and piece' loader a system of espionage—the finger of scorn being emtlnually pointed at him. To such an Went had this been the cis?, that his life became miserable to hem, and he was fore al to app'y to the sarateoto of the bid-miry fo- permission to leave reiu tn hone. He also wrote a letter, with a staterne et of the persecat'cl while he enlared, to the Rev. Mr. Taylor, the R moan Catholic chaplain of the warkhausa, for he was almost driven to m elness by it, and the reeta of his doing so was that he was allowed to return home. The Board or Guardials of the Marylobone Union sahserthe to the Bfargue instlntl3l, hat hva no control over 1.3 offic-T3. It wAs resolved that the letter ihonld be sent to the manager, for the 'r consideration. ,CONVICTION OF A PROCURES3.—At the qusrter sessions for the North Riding of Yorkshire. held on Thursday last, a case was heard, which, fortunately for the female sex, has cery seldom its parallel in courts of justice. Ann Ferguson, a woman forty-six ye Is . of age, was indict d under an act of parliament which makes it a misdemeanor for any person to procure the prostitution of young females wader twenty-one sears of age. She had kept a blterkause at the pert of AlEldleshro', and the house was resorted to by prostitutes and thiev:s. Ann Holism, a respectable and good-looking girl, only sixteen years of age, was hired by the prison as a tervant, but she had not been !wig in her situation be 'ore she was introduced to a ticket-of-leave man, and obliged by her mistrees to su Omit to his embraces. This sort of treatment continued for S ome time, un.il at length she sacceeded in Luling her .escape from the house. The narration of the way in wtieb, the girl was treated in this den of infamy was of such a nature as, of course, to pre clude its publication, but we may state that it produced in the minds of every peri6n in court, feelings of livens. dis gust, esp cielly as in every instance the abandoned woman received the reward or her treachery,—The chairman of the sessions ( he Hon. J. G. Damlas) marked his-sense of her conduct ny ordering her to be inOri§OIRCI for eighteen months, with hard labour. MUNICIPAL ELECTION. EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD. List evening, the friends ' and' supporters of Mr. •D. Crosthwaite, assembled at the National School-rooms. Kirkdale, for the purpose of taking measures to secure that gentleman's re-election, as the representative of_ that ward in the Town Council, at the approaching Municipal Election. The resolutions and speeches were of the same character as those given at the meeting held in Everton, on Friday evening last, a report of which was given in this journal. The meeting pledged itself to support Mr. Crosthwaite on the day of election. • SCOTLAND WARD. Last night, the friends of Mr. Liversidge held a meet ing at the Traveller's Rest, Scotland road, in order to forward his election. Mr. John Murdock, Chirman of the Ward, presided. Mr. F. McPhillips, Secretary. The meeting was fully and respectably attended, and amongst those present were Messrs. Shell, (T. C.) J Yates, J., Shepherd, James Redmond, Patrick Hussey, J. Summers J. Smith, J. Healing, and other influential wardsrneu. The Chairman briefly addressed the meeting, and said his duty was light, but it was important—it was to bring before them, for the first time, Mr. William Liversidge. (Applanee.) . He challenged any one to scrutinise the mercantile, moral, and political character of their can didate. He (Mr. Liversidge) had, at great inconvenience, come out keel() battle on principle for the ward. (Cheers.). It was stated that Mr. Crellin would spend a £l,OOO, and his Chairman 4'500, on the election, but if five hundred pence returned Mr. Liversidge, except for ligitimate expenses. it would not be given. (Cheers.) They should return him on open, honest, and independent reform principles, or not at all. (Cheers.) He trusted, as the ward was always foremost, that on the present occasion the bu - gesses would show their :independence by the return of the reform candida'e. (Cheers.) He then introduced Mr. Liversidge, who was greeted with pro= longed cheering. Mr. Liversidge then came forward, and was received with loud cheers. He said he came before them at their strong desire, not having• personal ambition or motives to serve, but the benefit of the ward generally. (Hear, heir.j He had lived sixteen years in the Ward, and his acts were before them (Hear, hear.) He had nothing to gratify in going into the Council. but the good of the Ward and the Borough at large. (Cheers.) There was one great question, and that was the Water qaestion, upon which his opinion was long fixed. (Hear, hear.) He could not help saying that it was a great shame on the part of the water committee, to endeavour to crush such stuff down the throats of the people. not only in direct opposition to the fact that it was n 4 only quite unwholesome, but against die universal wish of the people. (Hear, hear.) chat queetion he would never be satisfied with, until pure water was restored to the people, and until the p !Mc were satisfied with the quality and supply of the water supplied to them." (Cheers.) There were other matters to which he would not advert, such as general points, and local matters in regard to the ward, and in reference to these he would always be ready to render his assistance, more particularly as regards improvements in the ward itself. He was no orator, but he was a worker, and if they returned him on principle, he would do their work faithfully and well. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Healing then addressed the meeting in support of Mr. Liversidge's claim to the representation of the ward, and the Chairman also spoke in regard to Mr. Crellin, whom he said stated he was a liberal, and that he (Mr. Crellin) could refer to Mr. Shell, and others, that he was a liberal. Mr. Sheil then came forward, and was received with loud cheers. He believed that both candidates were highly honourable tradesm-n, but it was their duty to choose between the two, and see who was the best man. He was proud to say that the voters were reformers, and that was a liberty which, according to every man's notion, was free privileges in all respects (hear, hear), but on this point he would not send Mr. Crellin to the Town Council, no more than he would think of flying (hear, hear) because he always joined the Tories, and therefore he had no right to come and ask, Reformers for their support. (Hear, hear.) The Tories were certainly consistent in voting, and, therefore, when he (Mr. C ellin) was brought forward by the Tories, it: the Reformers were true to themselves, they would only support Mr. Liversidga. (Hear, hear.) From the local position, and the residence of Mr. L. in the Ward, he was well calculated and qualified to render important services in' the Council, on committees, and that was the place he could render the most essential services. (Cheers.) He repudiated the notion, se far as he was concerned, that Mr. Cretlin was a Reformer. He was a respectable tradesman, and an honourable man, but still he was not a Liberal, and therefore the Ward being Liberal, should support Mr. Liversidge, who was the advocate'of Reform and Progress, and not Mr. Crellin, who was for neither. (Hear, hear.) He therefore called an the Ward to support Mr. Liversidge. (Cheers ) Mr. K. Liversidge, the brother of the candidate, was called on, and addressed the meeting, alluding to the Pike Water and the Mersey Conservancy Bill, with o' her local affairs, and said the men sent in the Town Council should be men of intelligence ankintegrity, who should keep their eyes open, and not allow the property to be confiscated to the injury of the ratepayers. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Finegan, and several other gentlemen, addressed the meeting in support of Mr. Liversidge, and resolutions pledging the burgesses to return him were atiopted, and, after the transaction of the routine business. and a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated. ST. PETER'S WARD. EETING OF THE FRIENDS 03 MR. H. BANNER Last evening, the friends of Mr. H. Dinner met together, at the Clarendon Rooms, South John-street, for the purpos3 of taking the neciessary steps to secure that gentleman's re-election as a member of the Town Coun cil, for that ward, at the approaching municipal election ; ipnd also for the purpose of hearing that gentlemen ex ound his views on the various subjects of pnblic interest o the ratepayers. • . Amongst the company present we observed Mr. A'd.!rman Bennett—Messrs. Satchell, Hill, J. Leather barrow, J. Bradley, J. GlPave, H. Ranson, Feodsham Batay, Smith, Gibson Brown, Martin, J. Holme, Ito binson, &c.. Tne me sting was convened for seven o'clock, but it was not until some considerable time after that hour that the business of the meeting was commenced, owing to the paucity of the numbers pr,sent. Mr. Branch was called to the chair, and in introducing the business of the melting, statad that he had heard, and he believed it was true, that D had fallen, and was then inZtheir own possession. (This announcement was most heartily received with three rounds of applause) tile then went on to say, that all the electors knew for what object they had assembled together for on that evening—ir. was to elect a gentleman to represent that Ward in the Town Council. He then mentioned the name of Mr. IL Banner, whom he really believed to be the best man that could be re-elected—as he had, since he was first elected, devoted his time, his attention, and his energy in performing the duties in the Council Chamber, and also in all the C mnoitte , s on which he served. (Cheers.) For his part, he was at a great loss to know why there was any opposition to his re-election (Rear, hear) With respect to Mr. Bowring, who had been brought forward by their opponents, as far as he could say, he was a friend of his—he was a gentleman of 'tient and education, but so was their friend - Mr. Banner. In alt Liverpool he did not know a man who had done more than he had. (Hear, hear.) Was there a man who had done more towards education than he had done? (Meer, hear.) The next subject that had b , en made use or by nick opponents, and was talked about at the late meeting of Mr. Bowriog's friends, was doing away with the Pike. (Cheers.) He would ask any of them, was Mr. Bowring a greater opponent to the Pike than Mr. Banner was ? (Cries of No.) He had opposed it from the commencement to the present time. (Cheers.) After some further introductory remarks, he said that their party had been accused of corruption. For his part. he did not know what it meant. For some time the radicals had the ascendency in the Ward, and then they rode roue' shod over them—that was for a time. There mi ,, ht be corruption then, but at the present time he did not know what it meant. (Cheers.) He then said that Mr. Banner was in attendance, and wo••ld be most happy to address the electors of the Ward, and explain his views on the subject. (Hear, hear ) Mr. H. Banner was then introduced, and was received in the most enthusiastic manner. The Chairman : Now, do you think that he looks like a man wh) wants energy ? (Cheers, and cries of No, no.) Well, gentl , men, then I will introduce your old and tried friend. (Cheers.) Mr. Banner then came forward, and the cheering with which he had been received having in some decree subsided, he said that he ought first to offer his very warm acknowledgments for the very kind and cordial feeling he had received that evening. (Hear, hear ) And he could assure them, that he felt sorry that he could but so inadequately express his acknowledgement. but what he did say, was said in all sincerity. He could not feel, after such a greeting as he had received, that they had received him as a stranger, but he must rather consider that he had been received as an old friend, but not an old friend with a new face. (Cheers.) He had for six years represented that highly respectable ward. When he had been first called upon to come forward, he had obeyed their sutnnaons, and he had been elected in the true spirit of independence, having no pledge given to him or extorted from him, and should they again do him the honour, for there had been no difference in him since that period, of again spleeting him,to fill'the trust that they had pleased to confide with him, he hoped that be should continue to deserve it. He was not consci.us that he had ever done anything to for feit the good opinion that they had then entertained of him—he trusted that he had not, and he hoped that he never should do anything to cause an interruption of the friendly feeling that lied existed bet ween them, in any respect, by his conduct in the Town Council of Liverpool. (Hear, hear.) But he was in a position that persons constantly found themselves wile took upon them the ' exercise of great duties and responsibilities, for it was impossible to please all parties. (Ilear, hear .) He would ay that he was in that difficult position, for it appeared that leg had not pleased some parties, for an opposition had been set forward to unseat him in the Council. If it was the pleasure of the electors of the ward to do so, —(Cries of " No. no") —why he must submit. It was not for him to complain. (Hear.) A. most respectable man had been brought forward to oppose him, he had not a single disrespectful word to say against him, for he deserves all that had been said about him, hut surely he might without offence examine the claims of Mr. Bowring. (Hear, hear.) He would do so humbly and naceheatly, and in doing so should refer to some of those matters which had been alluded to at the meeting held last week, of hie friends. He then alluded to the observations made by the Chairman of that, meeting, - and said that he perfectly agreed that there should he no politics introduced into the Council Chamber, but he did not.think .that that matter had been carried out in the speeches that bad been delivered by the Chairman, Mr. Bowring, or any of the gentlemen who had addressel the mee hie, but he thought that the opposition that Was 'Offered' to him was based rather on political grounds. (Hear, hear.) He would assure that gentleman, however that polities was not' introduced into the Council, and, w henh it did so occur, it was instantly checked. But .he.thought that they might as well let politics sleep for that night. But, however, he thought he had then friends .present of all shades .of political feelingsoand that he should have the support of all. He would, hoireier; not hesitate to say what politics he was —.he was not ashartestrof it-:-ho 'was born a conservative —(cheers)—he had ever been a conservative—(great cheerine)—and he should always continue a conservative —(much cheering—but, notwithstanding that, there was no reason, why he should introduce his feelings into the Town Ceuncil of Liverpool. (Hear, hear.) With regard to municipal affairs, Mr. Bowring has stated his, and from what he (Mr: Banner) could see of them, there was very little difference between his and those opinions. (Hear, hear) The first question of importance, and indeed the one that required the greatest amount of public attention, then, and for years past, was the supply of water, (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It was well known what his opinions Were on that subject--(hear, hear,)—and he s w many friends around him with whom he differed ; but to the itivington:scheme for the supply of water he had ever been opposed—(cheers)—long before he had been elected a member of the Council. (Cheers.) From its very origin he was opposed to it. (Hear, hear.) There were mole , reasons why ho was opposed to thet scheme, but the greatest reason he had given his opposition'to it was that there had been estimates prepared to show that there was an abundant supply of the pure sandstone water. But there was an estimate made by Mr Hawksley that that supply was inadequate, and that it was impossible that the wells could give a proper supply of the pure water. He then mentioned the nimes of most of the engineers and other gentlemen who had differed with that view given by Mr. Hawksley, including one whose name he scarcely, dare mention—he was a humble but unfortunate man—ne alluded to Mr. M'Donald, who had prepared estimates showing that there was an ample supply. Although they all differed with the estimate made by Mr. Hairksley, the Pike scheme was carried out, and he thought, from what had taken place since that, it would be seen that all that Mr. Hawsley and his friends had said about the Pike was wrong, and that all he (Mr. Banner) and others had said against it were right. (Cheers.) The red sandstone water to his mind was unparalleled, and was the pride and boast of the town, and 116 hoped the people would soon have it again supplied to them--(cheers)—instead of the impure stuff that they had had from the Pike. That it must come be had no doubt. He next objected to Mr. Hawksley's estimates on the ground of costs. He 'had estimated that the cost of the . Pike would be £480,000, hut instead of it costing that amount he (Mr. Banner) believed that it would be found that before it was com pleted it would cost a million and a-half, or more than double the £430,000. Then, Mr. Hawksley had made another mis.a.ke ;—it was stated that it would be con pleted in five years. That was the time that was first specified in the act of. parliament, and after that time not a spade wouli be, required to be put into the ground ; but, at the expiration of that time, the works were not completed—another enactment for more time was ob. tained, and then another, and even up to the present time—ten years instead of five—the Pike scheme was not completed. A. voice : No, nor never will be (Applause ) But he (Mr. Banner) continued to say there was another disappointment which had been experienced in cense queues of the recklessness, of the estimates made by Mr. Havvlisley, and one that would be found to be very serious to the ratepayers. It was provided that after paying the expenses of purchasing the works, &e., the surplus should go to• the redue:ion of the rates, but that reduction they would never get (hear, hear), and he though*. that even if he appealed to his friend Mr James Hahne, who was respected by the whole Council, that that gentleman would hardly say he was wrong on that point. Bat there was another chum in the Act, and that was that the Corporation were bound to provide the peo• pie with good and wholesome water. Did the Rivington Pike do that. (Cries of " No, no.") The red sandstone water was the pride of the town. He contended that the Corporation had a right to restore to the people that water, as the Riviugton Pike might be filtered and filtered again, and it would never be fit for use. (Cheers.) He thought the Water Committee had no right to complain of the Corporation, as they had given them time again and again, and now that they had asked for more, it was granted them, and if they did not then succeed, why no more time should be granted them. (Cheers.) But what the Water Committee had a right to do was, until they had found that the Pike was fit for use, they should give the people the old red sandstone, and not the mixture they had supplied them with. It was not fair. They had been supplied with the mixture, and did not know what the P.ke water was itself, but they knew that it had discoloured and sp iiled the taste of the pure water they hed formerly had supplied them. He hoped that they would have the pure water restored to them (Cheers.) He would let the Pike question sleep for the night, and would go to another subject mentioned by Mr. Bowring— it- should be education. (Cheers.) He would not say much on that point, as if he did he should have to talk about himself, which was very unpleasant, but he would say that be could hardly be a better friend to education than himself. (Cheers.) He had for a series cf years devoted much of his attention, and had done so un to the present time, and he hoped as long as God spared his life he should continue to do so. (Cheers.) Since the lamented death of Mr. Molyneux, he had occupied the chairmanship of the education committee, and he could say that the Corporation Schools had progressed most favourably, for instead of having only 1,000 children being educated there, there were then upwards of 3.000 in th schools, where they were all receiving a good sound and useful educatien, and he expressed a hope that the burgesses of Liverpool would never neglect their schools, even if they had to nay a small rate. (Cheers.) He next allude] to juveni'e criminals in the Borough Gaol, which was better managed than any other gaol in the kingdom, but that was un•ler the control of the Secretary of State, although it was managed by the local magistrates, and he did not see how Mr. Bowring going into the council could alter it. (Choers and laughter.) With regard to the Akbar Reform story, that was supported by stihscriptione, and not by the council, and he should be most happy to take any money for it, as he was a member of the committee, and had taken a great interest in its management. (Cheers ) It was impossible that any person could attend to the d sties of the Council better than he had done, for, during that time, he had never been' absent but twice, and then he had unfortunately been in the north. (Cheers.) Ho bad also attended equally well on the committees, and he could say that he never lelt from the beginning of the business until it was completed. He . agreed with Mr. B wring that the accounts were nat kept so well as they should be, but he was not a member of the finance comMittee, but yet 'he had every reasoa'to believe that by text year they would be more clear and explicit. In conclusion, he could only say that, if he was again elected, he would endeavour. to perform his duty in every respect. (Cheers.) His conduct was before them, and he should feel disappointed If he was not again elected ; but, if not, he must bear his defeat. (Cries—" You shall be elected.") Having expresSed his thanks to the press for the manner it had always represented him, he concluded by expressing a hope that the next time they all mot would be under the banner of protection. (Cheers ) Me. }l. Denson next addressed the meeting in support of Mr. Banner, whom he warmly eulogised for his past services. Mr. Alderman Bennett also spoke in support of Mr. Banner, whom had always found a mist useful man in the Town Council, and who hal personally been a great Mend of his, and he felt surprised that Mr. Bovaing should have :co:re forward to oppose such a man. In reference to the Pike coestion, he fu'ly agreed with all that Mr. Banner had stated, and considered that it having been supplied during the past year, had augmented his brewer's bill £6 or £7, because his servants would not drink the water. (Laughter.) He urged on the electors to support Mr. Banner. Mr. James Holmes was next called upon to address the meeting, and in doing so was most enthusiastically received, the, company giving him several rounds of Kentish tire. We then, after highly eulogising Mr. Banner, proceeded to reply to some of his arguments adduced against the Pike, showing that it had not cost so much as one million and a half of money, and that if he people insisted in having the pure sand stone water. the pumps would have to be kept hourly at work, and then the supply could only be intermitant, and not constant, but at the same titna he acknowledged that he had been disappointed in the colour and quality of the Pike water. He next stated, that if after the present eineriments the water was not what it should be, he would at once vote for the old red sands'one supply. Bat with regard to costa, he said there had been much said about the cost of the Pike scheme, and much fuss had been made about it. but they appeared to have forgotten St. G q:irge l ,s-hall, which had 'been prqmised to be built for It 9 3 , 000 , but it had cost more than double that amount. He than proceeded to refer to Mr. Bowring's address, on the point that the toffy party had used their political power partially, which he did not approve of ; but the same had been done by the radicals at the first municipal eketion, in 1835,when officers had been excluded, because of their political feeling, at the expense to the town of several hundreds, (Applause) did then directed atton, (tion to an article which had appeared in a morning news paper, in which they bad been styled " jobbers," &c. He explained his views on dock accommodation, contending that from the increasing commerce of the port, it would be essential to extend the dock accommodation to the north end of the town, and that he had supported becaus he knew it would be beneficial to the town, or he st 0 1 not have done it, and if the writer of tt e article in ques tion had :oeen actuated by the same fe ding he w,,nld never have permNl the article in question. In conclusion, he urged on the electors to suppirt Mr. Banner on the day of election, and proposed three cheers for th iC gentleman, which was heartily responded to •O: the motion of Mr.. Feodsham, seconded by Mr. Sstchell, a committee was formed for the purpose of carrying out the election, and securing Mr. Banntr's return. After several rounds of app'ause, a vote of tbalks was prop..sed to the Chairman, and the meeting sept,rited. NORTH AND SOUTH TOX METH WARDS. A meeting of the electors of North and South Toxteth Wads; favourable to the reelection of Mr. John Stewart, and the return of Mr. Vernon, in the room of the outgoing member, was held in the Brunswick Hall, Hill s r s e t, l as t night. There was a tolerably large a tendance. Among those on the platform were Mess , s. George H. Hors&11 (alderman) J. Robertson (councillor), Batten, Harrison, Jones, McNicoll, King &c ~ & e. Although the meeting was called for half past seven o'clock, the pnceedirgs did not commence until long after that.time. At eight o'clock Mr. Vernon came upon the platform, and was received with loud applause. On the motion of Mr. 'JAMISON, the chair was taken by Mr. Gxo /GS H. 11011SFALL The CHAIRSIAN opene i the piloceeding4 by reading to the meeting a telegraphic return, supplied by Mr Whitt., of the Daily Post, announcing the tall of Delhi. Vehement cheers followed this announcement. T e CEIAIRMIN then proceeded to the busineEls of • the evenirg. He began by reading a letter from Mr. John Stewart, expresting the greatest regret that an engagement out of town, previously formed, prevented him from attending the meeting. The Chairman dwelt upon the long and tried services of Mr. Stewart, who had so recently been elected to the civic chair. Of Mr. Vernon he also spoke in terms of high commendatir n, referring to the character that geutleurtn had earned while he had a seat in the Council beforo. Referring to the probtb'e opposition to Mr. Vernon, he said that while he wished to speak with every courtesy of Mr. Avison, it should bo remembered that that gentleman wa r t the rejected of Caetle-street Ward, and therefore he thought that meeting could hardly be expected to appreciate the services of a man who had been rejected by his own ward, is a contest only organised a few hours before its conclusion. Mr. Councillor RGBERTSOA proposed the first resolution, which expressed the high sense entertained by the meeting of the tried and valued services of Mr. John Stewart, and pledged the meeting to use every means necessary to secure his re-election Mr. Robertson dwelt upon the many services Mr. Stewart had conferred upon the ward and the town generally, more especially in the late struggle regard ing the town dues, the comparatively satisfactory settlement of wh ch was in a great measure owing to the talents and labours of Mr. Stewart. Mr. Joszra Hammett in a few words seconded the resolution. . . The CLIA:RMAY put the resolution, which was carried by acclamation. Mr. Joszs proposed the second resolution, which declared that the meeting coLside ed Mr. Tnomas Verncn a fit and proper person to represent North Toxteth Ward in the Town C mined, and pledged the meeting to use every constitutional means to secure his return. The ape k-Ir remarked that he had known Mr. Vernon for forty years, of which that g-mtlem in was thirty years connwed with the South End, where he had always kept in employment from 300 to 1,000 - men. A Votcs : Liverpool men ? _ _ _ Mr. Jogs said, bell Liverpool and other men. He asked, was not a man of that kind fitter to rep esent such a ward, than a lawyer mploying six clerks, in Cook-street. (Hear, hear.) He reminded the meeting that there was no ship builder in the Council, and theca tre, cel'ed upon the meeting to support a man who would represent •ha ship-bu'lding interest in the Council, who would speak his ideas out manfully and granetriaecally—(laughter) - and wh >m no one could • " snub." (Hear, hear, and renewed lau g hter). Mr Jones c aimed for the S. uth end of the town greater attention than it has yet received He tho ght they ought to clam greater dock accommoda tien, a landing stage and a mareet. As on 3 who would advocate the interests of the Soath eni he warmly recom mended Mr. Vernon to the meeting. Mr. MOTiceee in a few words seconded the resolution, observing that no rat'on al men could for a moment compare tha claims on that ward of such a man as Mr. Vernon and Mr. Avison Had a practical engineer like Mr. Vernon been in the Council for some time back when such a scheme as that of the Rivington Pike was eugg sted, he would either have opposed in the beginning or by his engineer ing skill have helped to bring it to a different issue. The speaker referred to Mr. Vernon's magnificent fleet of steamer, and Ws recent and greatest work, the landing stake, as evidence of He engineaing powers and of the credit such a representative would r. fiect upon the ward. The reeolutim was carried by acclamation. Mr. VERNON then came forward, and was received with enthu , iiitic applause . . After some preleeieary observations he prcceeded to say, that the perscn who aspired to take a seat in their loCal parliament, aspired to no mean occupation, and the man who so aspired ought to be qualified fur the discharge of the very important duties. He wad quite alive to the importance of the pesition in which they sought to place him ; bit he told them can did!y, that looking at his own meanness, and the ecateiliess of his capabilities, he considered himself totallyslisquali fied for such an honor (Hear, hear.) Nevertheless, if his fellow citizens and fellow burgesses came for ward and - pressed hint into that pceition he was not the man to shrink from it He regietted ;hat others more qualified than he, merchant princes t f Liverpool, men of extraor dinary talent and great intellectual grasp of mind should shrink from coming forward. He reminded such men of the words recorded upon the statue of the immortal Nelson in the centre of their Exchange—" Eugland ex pects E very man to do his duty." (Cheers.) He was sorry that'men w,ll qualified mentally to fulfil such cities, sheeld shrink from the position. However, they had some clever men in the Town Council they had a very fair sprinkling of talon'. A Voice— Jeffery. (Laughter) - 6' 6..• • Mr Van Nos E aid , they had some men of talent, Ten of capacity, luau who uuderstood the commerce of the town and port, and the means whereby both might be benefited. He hoped to see the number of such men incrasq3 in the Council. The Corporation of Liverpool was second to none bat one in England, and he hoped the time way not far distant when it would be second to none. When gentlemen went into the Town Council, they ought to hive but one objet in view. He totally cisapproved of any thing like religious or politicil differences. (Rear, heir ) Whai had religions or politic .1 cieed to do wi h the qrtali ficitions for taking a teat in 'he - Town Conned? (Hear, head) The great object a man shou'd 11.,va in view when he took his seat there was, to s rye the e.;mnaercial' and general interests of the port and town to which he belonged. (Elea; heir.) What had religion or poliies to flo with bat Ttlese lines of detnarcati , n--these b)nes of con- teution —ought to he removed, and the increase of Liver. pool's commerce—the increues of the prosperity of every merchant, tradesman, aid mechanic, in Liverpool, ought to he the great ()Noce kept in view (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Delhi had at last fallen, although at a sacrifice of human life, b fore the united powers of E gli.h arms. • A Voice : You want. Robertson Glad,tone to keep you in check. (Cries c f "Order," and lauehter.) Mr Vattern( asked if religions and political differences had been diseusted by the Eng.izdt scldiere, what would have been the result? But a 1 such topic tt had been sunk into complete insignificance, and the mighty object which impelled them f,rward had enabled them to triumph, and,' ho hoped, to be succsssful in rested , g tranquility. (fLoar, hear, and cheers) M.. Vernon then referred to an infiam ma.ory placard which he said he had heard was posted theoegh the ward, about his employing c trpenters who did not belo-g to a clus, the idea being, of course to impress on the public that he was not a friend to the working man He energetically denied such an imputation, and states that he only employed mea not belong'ng to a club when he con'd not get enough of other men for love or money, and he had to complete some con treats. He never reduced the wages ' or thoued of doing so and after a whi'e the men of the clubs came a .d work .d with the others. (Cheers). He invited those who heard him, to appal to men he had employed for 40 years, and he was content to stand or fall by their representation of his character. (Cheers). If they returned him to the Town Council, he would, so far as he was able, do his duty. In regard to the water question, he remarked that he was as yet only a novice in it. He had not thought much ab ut it ; but it did strike him as great folly to be quarrelling about a subject on which they ought to be con gratulaeing each other (Hear, hear) A populous town 1 ke Liverpool required an immense supply of water, and its requirements would be constaLtly increasing year after year. They had now g )t an immense supply—whether it was got economically or otherwise, was a question be had nothing to do with, but he must say that if the contentions and strie of words, and ebullitions of fc eling had been less, it would have been more ec:nomical (Hear, hear). Nevertheless, they had got a handsome supply. In 'he next place they had got a auppty of the most beautiful well water, of which every one seemed to approve for dietetic purposes. Why could not the latter be applied to those purposes, since every one wood of it, and the other be used fur sanitary and other necessary purposes. (Hear, bear) Having re ferred to one or two other topics, Mr. Vernon concluded toy declaring that, if he were returned to the Council, sectarian or political differences should not prejudice him, Jolt that his great object wArid be the benefit of all the whole town, electors and non-elec:ors. (Cheers ) A gentleman here rose in the body of the hall and en deavoured to address the meeting, amid much confusion. He cried out, "If you are Englishmen hear me ; if yen are not Sepoys." (Cries of order, turn him out, and groans) After some confusion, the chairman invited the gentleman to c,me on the platform, with which the latter complied. The chairman asked the gentleman's name, which the latter gave as George Neville Turner. The CHAIRMAN: Th's is a meeting of the electors of North and South Toxteth wards, who are favourable to the return of Mr. 8 - ewart and Mr. Vernon. If this gentleman informs me that he is an elector of either of tne wards,sri t a a e n n, d it th awilt he e th i e s a favourable to to e ask ret y urn ou of to give him a fair and impartial hearing those se g Mr, Timm: I will answer the question honestly - and straightforwardly by putting another. (Oh, oh, groans, hisses cries of turn him out," " ,hrow hint off the plat fordo," pitch him through the window," &c, &o.) The CIUIRMII.I : Gentlemen, while I occupy this chair nobody in the room shall disobey my icstruc'ions. (Hear, hear, and chsers.) I have no idea in the world of what this gentleman is going to say. He may be g •ing to speak iu favour of our friends, or he may be desirous of saying something against them. I shall put to him the test wh'ch I shall put to every gentleman who attempts to address the meeting, and ask him first—Are you an elector of these wards? Mr.' TURNER : lam an elect , r of the ward. . ?he Cu&IEMAN: Then I next abk you, are you in favour of the return of Mr. Vern3n and Mr. Stewart a 3 our repro• setratires in the Town Council? Mr. Tußsza: Provided--(cries of answer, answer, and his-ees ) Me. KING (vehemently) yes or no ; yes or nu; A voice : Hear bo h sides. (so, no, and clamour.) Mr. TURNER: I am not allo Aed to address the Meeting unless I answer the question put to me by the chairman. Several voices : Answer the ciliation at once. Here Me. King caught Mr. Turner by the coat and endeavoured to drag him to the edge of the plat form, as if to throw him over. Tile Chairman interfered, and Mr. King resumed his seat. Another gentleman on the plat f)rai came behind Mr. Turner and endeavoured to push him off, Mr. Tuner resisting as well as he could. Several voice.: Answer the questi m ; yes, or na. The CNAIRMAN i Aro you in favour of the return cf Mr. Vernrm ? _ Mr. TURNE't : I can't say until I know his views. (Oh, oh, groans, hisses, and cries of, out with him ) Having given this answer, the speaker, as if to areici pate a crisis, jumped cff the platform into the body of the hall, amid great groaning, shouting, and laughter. The Citatamaa : I protest aglinst any gentleman coming to attend this meeting for the purpose of creating a disturb ance. (Hear, hear.) As to ary gentlemen coming here arid saying he does not know what the cat lidate's views are—why, of course, we are bound to believe what any man says. (Great laughter and cheering ) Mr. KING then csme forward, anti proceeded to narrate, with great vehemence, that he once &vended a Radical meeting some years ago, in that very room, where there was a regular feast, fit for Prirce Albert. (Laughter.) The ,gentleman who interrupted them just now was sober, but he (the speaker) at the time he referred to was a little coached." (Great laughter.) He happened to say a few words in his little drink—(laughter)—and they bun dled himself and his friends out et I ha- very door (Great laughter) Ode of his friends, poor fellow, was in.his grave in a week, but hi (Ur King) was on his pins yet. (Loud laughter) But cut of that very door he was bundled. (Laughter.) Probably to escape the practical moral to be drawn from this anecdote, Mr. Turner, we believe, had, by the time it reached a conclusi quitted the room. Mr. BATTEN then proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was carried by acclamation. The Ca meas. in acknowleiging the comp'iment, said he had just heard that the gentleman who interrupted the proceedings was the secretary of Mr. Avison's party. (Oh, oh, and hisses) JIG considered the conduct of that gen tleman most ma-English. (Cheers.) He (the chairman) was quite ready for dismission if the other party desired to try their strength in that way ; but he protested against a gentleman coming t ) a meeting such as that for the express purpose of c_teating a distu bance. When that gentleman said he could not tell whether he was favourable or not to the return of the candidates, as he did not know their view, ha did not think the meeting could 'consider that anything but an untruth. (Cheers.) No one could believe that that gentleman's will would have been influenced by the answer. Either he was pledged to Mr. Avison, or he was not, and he n:ust be deceiving one party or the other, (He tr, hear, and diem). Here another pets= rose in the body cf the hall, dote to the pia form, and with vehement ges:ures of opposition, bean to address the meeting. He CollltUf need to vocife rate—l think it is customary at public meetings - Hav'ng gtt thus far, his address received a t-ulden and startling cheek. One of the gentlemen on the platform, near the chairman, ran to the edge and •rn tde a kick at the speaker ; whether it took effect or not we could not see, but a cry was raised of " turn the fallow out,' " throw him out,' c, and in a moment the ve:.turous speaker was surrounded by a crowd, and promptly " bundler cut cf the hall and down the stairs. • This closing incident having been disposed of, the chairman declared the meeting at an end, and with cheers for the candidates, the assemblage b:oke up.
