Qijt iLibirpoot 'tanbarb. TUESDAY .217ORNING, _NOV. 3, 1846. The result of the municipal election yesterday slightly surprises us. A victory in any encounter with Whig-Radicalism we know that we can win ; but a victory with unprepared, and—thanks to Sir Robert Peel—a divided force to bring into the field against a well organised antagonist, is more than we should hive dared to hope for. Such, how ever, we cannot but consi , ler the result of yester day's polling. Of the sixt( en wards vacated, ten have returned Conservatives. Three were uncon tested—Conservatives in two, and a Whig-Radical in another walking the course—and two more being postponed until to-day, owing to the inability of the aldermen of the wards to preside, as required by the municipal act. In. three wards—Lime-street, St. Paul's, and North Toxteth—the Whig candidates have been successful, and in eight contests the Con servatives have won. If anything had been required to satisfy us that the constituencies of Liverpool are essentially Con servative, the result of this election would do so. We repeat that we had not sufficient preparation for a contest. Had we been properly generalled, is it to be conceived as within the bounds of probability that Mr. Henry Danson would have been permitted to represent Lime-street, especially with so respect able and efficient an opponent as Mr. Saunders, For St. Paul's, we are thoroughly convinced a vic tory might have been won, had a candidate been sufficiently early in the field. Mr. Briscoe is an unexceptionable man. As a tradesman he is re spected by all who know him, and is most popular in the ward. Three days more opportunity of placing his merits before the notice of the electors would have made him safe. In North Toxteth, too, we lose, Padicalism re turning Mr. Robert Benn, to the exclusion of a tried friend of the ward, Mr. John Sheppard. In common charity, we hope the Council will autho rize Mr. BFrin to weep over the Albert Warehouses. Perhaps he can tell us why they cannot be insured ; or, it may be that his tears, preserved by Mr. Eyre Evans, may supply the means of counteracting any conflagration which may occur. In Vauxhall, St. Anne's, and we expect to be able to add Scotland Ward, we have put Conserva tives in the place of Radicals. We must not conclude without directing attention to the two wards which have to be decided to-day. Scotland Ward is our own if we choose to put forth our strength. Mr. Thornhill must not, in these days of sanitary interest, he allowed to walk over a respectable tradesman and a man of business. Mr. James Holme and Mr. William Thornhill—Which is the man best calculated to meet the present emergency of the Council—to superintend the sewer ing and ventilating of the town ? The electors in Scotland Ward will furnish the answer to-day. Of South Toxteth we have strong expectations. We cannot afford to lose an amiable man, a good Conservative, and an active Councillor, like Mr. Glazebrook. We implore the Conservative electors to be early at the poll, and secure at the outset a large majority. Cannot some of the active gentle men in other wards devote another portion of their valuable services to South Toxteth to-day. Their exertions will be highly prized, and may tend to make the victory more triumphant. His Lordship, the premier, is proving himself, his own friends admit, unequal to the position to which the cruel kindness of his astute predecessor advanced him. A few ye rs ago Sir Robert Peel, when engaged in the formation of his cabinet, in formed the world that "Ireland was his chief diffi culty." We well remember with what an amusing display of self-satisfaction Lord John allowed it to be inferred that, in his hands and by the use of his specifics, Ireland could present no difficulty at all. The utmost that could be required was the throw ing of a few sops into the jaws of the many-headed Cerberus, who keeps watch at the gate of that social Tartarus, to deny admission to everything like prac tical efforts to remove the evils under which her wretched population labours, and to allay the fer ment of agitation by which they are stirred up to outrage and to crime. Take Daniel O'Connell in to the councils and favour of the government ; withdraw the ban imposed upon the leaders of the Repeal agitation ; distribute comrnissionerships, and create stipendiaries out of Whig-radical and Popish materials in sufficient abundance ; threaten a few heavy blows against the Irish Protestant Church ; make the body of Irish Protestant land owners quake for the security of their rent-rolls, and amuse the squatters in her bogs and upon her fertile spots with an indefinable shadow of ultimate appropriation of their holdings, under the title of fixity of tenure; and all would go well. Whig radical administration of the affairs of that singular country would be an ovation—merry as a station, a wedding or a christening, and almost as full of fun as a wake itself. Well, Lord John has entered upon the admini stration of Irish affairs, we grant a most difficult crisis. O'Connell is his own. " Dear Ray" is his particular friend. The " Head Pacificator " is both sober and well-behaved. Here were materials— here was a corps d'action which, for efficiency, no minister ever before possessed in that country. Yet with the whole Repeal staff to aid him in his efforts to administrate a remedy for the disaster which has befallen Ireland, in the pertial loss of the potatoe crop—with a well-trained body of priests to restrain the wild passions, and to guide the wil ful ignorance of the people—Lord John appears in a state of hopeless bewilderment. He has pre sented to him an actual tangible difficulty. He has to set a half-starving population to work. The State has opened its purse-strings for the purpose of providing the funds. Yet, with all his new alli ances, his lordship appears incapable either to act or decide in the emergency. The arch mendicant, powerful for evil, deserts him at his need, and bab bles of a convention of Irishmen in College-green. The whole tribe of Repeal wardens and collectors maintain a sullen silence, for the rent has become a mere tenuity—an anatomy of its former self ; and the priesthood—the sworn allies of liberalism— have been only active in deranging the working of the machinery set in motion for supplying the wants of the population; brawling at presentment sessions, and doing their utmost to render their proceedings so many absurd and mischievous farces. The re sult has been what might have been foreseen—a mass of abortive plans; the sanction of a host of useless and unprofitable works—railways, roads and canals, which might with quite as much propriety be projected to the moon, for any chance which there appears to exist of their Lein; either executed or attempted. A crude and bungling piece of legislation has been thrown upon the troubled waters of Ireland's politics and social disorganiza tion, without a tongue to explain its provisions, or hands or a head to direct their operation. In the emergency in which he has found himself, Lord John appears to have found it necessary, for the preservation of his character for omniscience, to have a fling at the landlords of Ireland. Truly un fortunate men, these same Irish landlords are. They have abandoned during the present year, some ten per cent., some twenty per cent., and some the whole rental of their property ; but Lord John appears to have expected from them something more than a sacrifice of their property. They were to have made up by their sagacity for his own short sightedness—to have interpreted at a glance his own sorry legislation. The Act of Parliament de vised for the employment and relief of the peasantry of Ireland, permitted public works to be projected and carried on by the aid of loans from the State, to be repaid by the landowner. Lord John is in a fever because the landowner is not able at once to say how much of the burthen, and in what way he can take it upon. himself. " It had been," he says, " Our hope and expectation, that landed proprietors would have commenced works of drainage and other im provements on their own account; thus employing the People on their own estates, and rendering the land more Productive for the future. In that case, it would have been only the surplus labour which would have been em ployed on roads, and other works not immediate profitable. " The act, however, was put in operation in the baro nies, in a spirit the reverse of that which I have described. It was taken for granted that the public works were the chief objects to be regarded, and proprietors began to calculate, that as so large a sum was to be repaid from their estates, they should not be able to commence or even to continue private enterpri ses f or th e i mprovemen t of their own la nds. An awful confession ! Lord John and his col_ leagues expected that the landed propritors of Ire_ land would have commenced works of drainage an other improvements on their own account, wi d rentals unpaid, and a seditious priesthood teaching the people that their landlords were bound to pro vide them with fcod in their emergency. Yet it is found that a liberty has to be taken with the Act of Parliament, to enable the landlords to project any thing really useful and profitable. The whole budget of Irish legislation turns out to be a farce— a hoax or something more—a thing to be made merry over by unfledged priests at presentthent sessions, and the landlords of Ireland are to be the scapegoats of Ministerial inefficiency. With singular inconsistency, however, the tail of his lordship's letter contradicts its commencement. The poor Irish landlords were wrong at first, and are all that is amiable'at last. " 1 would here," he says, " Conclude this letter, which is already too long ; but I cannot do so without expressing my conviction, that there is every disposition in persons of property in Ire land to meet the difficulties fairly, and submit to any sa crifices which the public good may require." The preceding portion led us to expect that they were anything but prepared to meet their difficulties fairly. The question who is to be the Mayor of Liverpool for the ensuing year has been tantalising our Whig and Radical contemporaries for some weeks past. In the absence of any difficulty as to the selection of a properly qualified party, we are told of " tricks and manoeuvres" to exclude a certain gentleman from the civic chair. Mr. George Hall Lawrence is to be pitched overboard—his services forgotten— and, Mr. Bramley-Moore waiving his claim, we are to place "a creature of our own" in the Mayoralty ! And who is this "creature," pointed at by our con temporary of the Journal ? Mr. Thomas Berry Horsfall—a man as little likely to be creature of faction as our contemporary is likely to discover the philosopher's stone, or to square the circle. Possibly our Whig-Radical friends will concede to us the chance, at least, of being as well informed as themselves. We can tell them that there is no " clique" working one way or the other. Perhaps we might hint that Mr. George Hall Lawrence, who has well earned the honour, is likely to be pro moted to the mayoralty. Mr. Bramiley-Moore's claim we thoroughly appreciate, but we never put it forward. He never put it forward. It will, how ever, be responded to in due time by his fellow townsmen. At this moment we do not know a gentleman to whom Liverpool is more indebted, for sacrifices of time and for talent devoted to its inte rests, tl:an it is to Mr. Bramley-Moore. With respect to Mr. Horsfall, we are certain that he will never be placed in the position of compe tition for the office of Chief Magistrate fo: Liver pool with any opponent. When Mr. Horsfall is Mayor, it shall not be by any " trick" or " manoeu vre," resorted to in order to evade the claims of a friend. Mr. Horsfall would not thank his party for making him Mayor under such circumstances. There is a nobler game before him—one in which we may shortly have to fight. Liverpool may have to select from amongst her merchant citizens, not a Mayor, but a representative of her interests in the legislative assembly of the nation. Here we shall have great pleasure in advocating the cause of Mr. T. B. for sfall. Such a man need not stickle for municipal preferments. He has within him all that is required to render distinguished the cha racter of a member of a . higher house than our municipal chamber; and there is not one of his fellow•townsmen who will not feel honoured in his success upon such an arena. As regards Mr. Bramley-Moore, we could almost assure him of the honour of the Mayoralty ; but, much as We value him, we should prefer his waiting for that honour, for the sake of the benefit which we hope to derive from his set vices upon the Dock Committee. We can't afford to lose a good man at that board for the mere consideration of Mayoralty. It is gratifying to observe the growing interest that is manifest relative to that important question, the " Tea Duties." It really is monstrous that such an exorbitant duty as that now levied, amounting to from two to six hundred per cent. should still he persisted in, the more particularly so now, when our commer cial views are becoming so enlightened : but the fact is the tea duties' are and always have been a kind of pet affair' with all and e. ery administra tion,inasmuch as they derive from the man immense revenue at trifling expense. They do not consider that if they reduced the duty to we will say one shilling the pound (a higher rate would be useless), that an increased consumption to nearly double the extent would be the result almost the very first year, thereby proving their fears as to the revenue to be groundless. We consider too that if the anticipa tions of the increased consumption were not quite realised, that government would be at no loss ; as from the increased demand for other commodities which pay duty, they indirectly would be more than amply compensated ; they also do not take into consideration the moral tendency of such a liberal line of policy upon the kingdom at large. It is in disputable that tea is an agreeable and healthful be verage, and now almost a necessary of life ; indeed a greater boon and one the public would more high ly prize than cheap tea it would be difficult to point out. As a natural consequence the government who grant it would receive the grateful support of the nation. Even putting the before mentioned argument out of the question, we beg to submit that reciprocity is due to the Chinese,—it is admitted on all hands that a more liberal tariff than that granted by Sir H. Pottinger could .not have been expected, indeed it almost surpassed our most sanguine anticipations. With other countries with whom we have commer cial relations the duties in comparison are almost prohibitory to our manufactures. Let it then no longer be a reproach to us that we are outdone in our commercial policy by a comparatively barbarous people. It is a well ascertained fact that with a few excep tions the Chinese are poor, consequently specie is scarce, how then are we to increase our trade other than by further interchange of commodities. Their principal product is tea, ours manufactured goods, both of which can be supplied by either country to almost unlimited extent—why then should restric tions be placed upon a trade the extension of which would prove so beneficial to both countries ; it is unjust, impolitic and highly prejudicial to the dawning resources of that vast empire,and is endan gering the very existence of our present trade, and also the good understanding which subsists between us. We have now, thanks to our gallant troops, a fast footing in the country, which if followed up on our part by a more liberal commercial policy in con junction with the efforts of our worthy missionaries, there is every reason to hope would ultimately tend to their entire civilisation. What a noble field is here open to the efforts of the Christian ; the philan thropic mind should at once seize upon it and give the question his most strenuous support. It will he unnecessary for us to enter into details relative to our present trade with the celestial em pire,seeing the statistics of it have so frequently been before the public, more particularly in an able pam phlet published some short time ago by an esteemed townsman, to the careful perusal of which we have much pleasure in recommending those who are de sirous of a more intimate acquaintance with the sub ject. We will, however, merely observe that the China trade is one of the most important branches of the commerce of this great port in which our merchant princes are engaged. We learn with much satisfaction that an influen tial body connected with the, trade have taken up the matter, and will energetically urge upon the pre sent government the immediate necessity of a reduc tion in the duty ; we wish their laudable efforts every success, and would press upon all mercantile bodies, that they give this momentous question, in teresting as it is alike to all, their fullest co-opera tion and support. His worship the Mayor has received already the only meed of thanks for his past services, which the body, over which he has presided for the last twelve months, could pay him ; and, in accordance with our usual practice, we have to offer a few remarks upon the manner in which he has discharged his onerous duties. In ordinary cases this is no diffi cult matter. It is easy for any journalist, not to tally blinded by'faction, to give credit where credit is due, even to a political opponent; and as we have done so in every previous instance, we shall scarcely be accused of indulging our political predilections in noticing the career of Mr. David Hodgson. From his first entrance upon the dignified office, which he is about to retire from, Mr. Hodgson has been the mark of Whig-Radical calumny and spite. His very features have been watched, and made the subject of venomous comment. His manner, his voice, his thoughts almost have been journalized upon with a bitterness which is unaccountable, un less we pre-suppose the existence, on the part of his revilers, of direct personal animosity. Yet Mr. Hodgson has had thrown upon his shoulders, during his year of office, a responsibility exceeding that of most of his predecessors ; and has discharged that responsibility to the perfect satisfaction of the unbiassed majority of his fellow-townsmen. There is nothing tangible which the bitterest of his cen sors can lay to his charge. As the chief magistrate of our town, he has been most accessible and im partial. The united testimony of the Conservative and Whig-Radical agents for the revision of the municipal lists is evidence of the total absence of party leaning in the Mayor, whilst performing the important functions which the municipal act imposes upon him. In his capacity of host to the Consort of our gracious Sovereign, he fulfilled his duty most creditably to the town, whilst his refusal of the honour usually rendered on such occasions— that of knighthood—sufficiently showed that it was for no selfish end that he had worked. We might say a word or two upon the unge nerous way in which his worship has been remarked upon, at the close of his office, by certain of our Whig-Radical contemporaries. If these gentlemen will refer to our own columns, they will certainly not find, in our remarks upon retiring mayors of Whig-Radical politics, any such exhibition of spitefulness as is contained in the Mercury of Fri day, or Journal of Saturday. Tastes differ, how ever, and perhaps our contemporaries could not restrain themselves. We have taken, hitherto, little share in the con troversy carried on with respect to the comparative merits of the Bala Lake and Rivington Pike scheme of supplying Liverpool with water. It has not, however, been for want of a due appreciation of the magnitude of the question at issue, or its import ance to the interests of our fellow-townsmen. Mere guesses, however, or information picked up at ran dom from pet enquirers, are not matters in which we are in the habit of dealing. We don't like either to hurry our local legislature to con clusions which we cannot warrant by well ascer tained facts. We give, however, in our columns this day, what we really think is sufficient evidence to suggest to the Council the propriety of at least pausing before they take any definite step in the water question. It is clear that the Rivington Pike mode of supply must be reconsidered, and all we need say in addi tion, is to urge upon the Council the propriety of a more careful examination of our position and prospects. TO CORRESPONDENTS. In consequence of a great press of local matter, we a re obli g ed to withdraw the coMmuh'.',ltions of several correspondents, which would otherwise ba. - e appeared. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. MUNICIPAL ELECTION—(CoNTINuEO.) Council possesses a man, at this moment, more fit for the chair, than Mr. George Hall Lawrence, and I shall have great delight in voting for nim. (Cheers.) This, gentlemen, has not been the only aspersion and misrepresentation which I have had to suffer, but you have now answered them, and I am content. (Cheers). I will now only detain you while I state the numbers of the poll: For my honourable opponent, Mr. Booth .. 229 For myself by your favoUrs ... Thus giving to me a majority of ........ 77 (Cheers.) Such has been our majority ; and I have had great pleasure in voting myself for Mr. Morris, in Vaux hall Ward, an able, intelligent, and active man, who, I am happy to tell you. has a majority of 31. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Holme concluded his address by again thanking the electors ; and he shortly afterwards retired from the window amidst the cheers of the multitude. We cannot conclude our account of this almost un precedented contest without tendering our warmest con gratulations to Mr. Holme upon his signal victory over professed friends and unscrupulous enemies. In fact the usage he experienced seemed to operate as a bond of union for his return ; and we are happy to say that among hie supporters was that venerable man, the Rev. Mr. Lister, Baptist minister, and other influential gentlemen of the Reform party. ADE RCROMBY WARD. In this ward the candidates were Mr. Thomas Kaye, the retiring member, and Mr. Thomas Todd.. This was the hardest fought contest in any of the wards, the can didates being—up to within an hour of the poll closing— almost neck to neck. Great exertions were made by Mr. W. Earle and other leading radical gentlemen to secure the return of Mr Todd. but to no purpose. During the last hour, as will be seen from our statement. the Con servatives rallied and succeeded in returning Mr. Kaye by a majority of 25. At the close of the poll Mr. Kaye ap peared at the window of the Phoenix Inn, and returned thanks to the assembled electors for having a•second time elected him their representative. He said his time for twenty years had been placed at the service of the town, and he would use his utmost exertions to improve its sanatory condition, and especially to provide for every in habitant an abundant and constant supply of water. Mr. Procter followed Mr. Kaye, and congratulated the ward on having returned a gentleman so intimately acquainted with the requirements of the town, and so well qualified by intelligence and experience to meet them. LIME-STREET WARD. To the unfortunate apathy of- the Conservative party in this ward, in leaving to so late a period the selection of a candidate, is attributed the loss of this election. Indeed, the close run fully :shows that, had they been sooner in the field, they must have been victorious ;• and though at the last hour no exertion was spared—all working as one man—it is mortifying that so excellent and so qualified a man as Mr. Saunders should be overlooked. Mr. Saunders is not a man that had previously appeared in public, and from his connexion as partner in one of the leading commercial firms in our town, should not have been objected to by those who profess to want men " ac quainted with our trade, irrespective of politics." But the clique cared not ; they did not want the trade of the town represented, or even the ward represented ; they wanted their condidate to represent a particular interest. At twelve o'clock 'Mr. Saunders was ahead, but the Conservatives hung back, and Mr. Danson won. ST. ANNE'S WARD, The candidates for the Ward were Mr. Wm. Bennett, and the retiring member, Mr. Joseph Hornby. In the early part of the day the contest was:exceedingly strong, but at noon the Conservative party, whose exertions were most exemplary, took the lead, and from that time to the close of the poll they continued to improve their advan tage. The leaders of the Radical party spared no exer tion to return their candidate, but the result was such as predicts the favourable position of the ward. Mr. Ben nett, who had himself been at the contest throughout, was loudly applauded by the assembled multitude when ever he was seen; indefad the feeling evinced, was such as to demonstrate the high estimation in which this can didate was held. _ _ On the poll being closed, Mr. PARKER, who had been indefatigable in his exertions, appeared, amidst enthusiastic cheers, at the window of the committee-room, the Pon tack, in Christian-street, and stated that he bad been de puted by the committee to announce that their fellow burgess and tradesman, Mr. Bennett, had been returned by a majority of 44. (Cheers.) He congratulated the electors on the victory they had gained. Truly might it be said that the efforts of those mighty and brother col leagues, Mr. William Earle and Mr. Joseph Hornhy, bad been pe:fectly abortive. The ward—and he was proud of it—had shewn a determination to reject such men, and elect those who, tradesmen, like themselves, could sympa thise with them, and at once comprehend measures that would be beneficial to the interests of the ward. (Cheers.) He was gratified that they had selected a tradesman ; for. in doing so, they had paid him a high complimtnt, and placed as their representative - a gentleman who, from his knowledge of trade, from his power, his intelligence, and his ability, would be no small addition to the various com mittees—more particularly the Health of Towns and the Improvement Committees. Mr. Parker concluded by in troducing Mr. BENNETT, who in a neat and appropriate address, described the gratification he felt in the honour they had conferred upon him, by electing him as their representa tive, by so large a majority, a majority larger than had ever been obtained by any candidate in that ward. (Cheers.) He could not fully detail to his fellow burgesses, his fellow townsmen, and tradesmen, the proud position in which he felt himself placed, and though he lacked words to express his feelings, he assured them that their interests should have his best attention. He was prepared to give his exertions to forward every requisite reform, more particularly that of sanatory reform. As he was, how ever, to many of the Electors, a m are stranger, he could not address them with that confidencst i e would wish, but he trusted that the time and attentloPilhi was prepared to devote to the management of thetkiff 21a, would, on some future occasion, give him a claret Sti sore confidence, than he felt he was then justified tik claiming. After recapitulating the prominent measures to be advocated, he retired amidst vociferous cheering. Mr. 'Woodruff, the chairman of the committee, then addressed the burgesses, congratulating them on the vic tory they had achieved, and avowing that no man was more likely to effect the improvements required in the ward than the gentleman they had-ilected—a gentleman who had been twenty years a leadifi r g tradesman of th e town, and who could give all the reforms they wanted ; and had the additional qualification of being a staunch supporter of the institutions of the oountry. Mr. Bennett had ability and the inclination to devote it to their in terests. Mr. Hornby had the ability but not the inclina tion, and had throughout his career neglected their busi ness. He was now, however, in the position in which he should have been originally placed. Mr. W. concluded an excellent and lengthy address, by exhorting the electors to do their duty in another year as they bad done on this. The immortal Peter Stubbs, who was present with a Powerful band, played many lively and suitable airs, and being a burgess of that ward, spared no pains to sound the gratification he felt. WEST DERBY WARD. Mr. G. H. Lawrence, the efficient chairman of the Fi nance Committee, walked over the course unopposed. The radicals have generally offered no opposition in this ward, but last year they ventured on a contest and brought forward Mr. James Mellor—their candidate this year for Exchange ward ; but Mr. James Plumpton was returned by a majority of thirty-five. NORTH TOXTETH WARD. The miserable display of Conservative weakness in this ward is attributed to the apathy of that party. There are 813 voters on the register, and of those only 382 have voted. The radicals polled all their strength, and out of 406 known Conservatives, only 135 recorded their votes for Mr. Sheppard, notwithstanding that gentleman's devotion to public affairs as chairman of the West Derby Board of Guardians. Up to one o'clock Mr. Benn polled three to one, and had at that time a majority of 100. After that time the Conservatives held their ground, and had plenty of strength unoolled to have won the election even then, for the Radicals, during the last three hours, only gained twelve on the gross poll, so that had the Con seevatives gone up at first as they did at last, a very different result would have been the issue, as numbers went away and declined to vote i❑ such a hopeless cause. We hope not many of the duplicate Conservative voters of South Toxteth have polled, as their votes will be required in that ward to-day, and we earnestly implore them to record their suffrages at the earliest possible hour. There are no doubt many excellent canvassers in other wards who may be disengaged to-day, and if they can transfer their services to South Toxteth, the Conservative com mittee will be greatly indebted to them, and. the cause they have at heart materially benefitted. Surely, such a sterling Protestant as Mr. Glazebrook will not be de feated, but though we have every confidence that he will not, every energy should be put forward to return him by a triumphant majority. WATER SUPPLY. The standing orders never relax • and as the parlia mentary session approaches, the problem of how the town is to be adequately supplied with water assumes a higher degree of importance. The necessity for action is urgent,. and the question must be decided. The report of the late committee of the Town Council was barren, as all general documents must be. It was intended to be barren, for reasons that need no explana tion ; and we can scarcely justify, though we may pardon, the impatient curiosity of the Journal to dive into details. No doubt the committee have acted so as to best further the solution of the question, having due regard to the interests of the burgesses; and, for the present, we are content with what they have said, giving them credit for the best intentions. We musty however, interpose with some observations upon the relative merits of the several schemes said to be under discussion. Two modes of supply are open to us. One is the good old fashioned plan of wells and pumps, in favour of which Mr. Gage and the Mail are unusually zealous. The other is to impound the element from distant sources, and then to bring it to Liverpool, where it is to be delivered at a vast fall by means of agencies which modern engineering renders easy, safe, and cheap. The first plan is decidedly inadequate. In all respects it is inadequate; besides, it would be the dearest, all points taken into con sideration. The other plan is by far the preferable. But, as few plans escape opposition, and as competition leads to comparative perfection, there are two sources suggested, from which, upon this principle, Liverpool may obtain the desired treasure. The first that we notice is what is called " The Bala Lake Scheme ;" the collection of waters from the hills drained by the Dee ; the second is to draw the supply from the mountainous district contiguous to Bolton. Our sympathies are in favour of the Bala Lake Scheme, as likely to be the simplest in practise, the best adapted for the increasing demands of a growing population, and the least liable to obstructive interference from interme diate claims and interested obstacles. Parliamentary op position less dogged and less selfish is certain, than would greet the Town Council if they sanction the Bolton plan, though it would be folly to expect there would be no op position. These are a few of the reasons which may be suggested as sufficient to justify a larger present expendi ture in the one case than would be necessary in the other; and when to them is added the further fact that from one source the supply is inexhaustible and the other limited, it is obviously a most mistaken policy not to select the Bala Lake scheme, merely because it is open to one ad verse observation. The Parliamentry notices, however, must appear in a few days ; and without engaging in the merely personal questions of engineers and committee, upon which the Journal has enlarged, one or two independent reasons may be urged why Mr. Hawkesley's plan of sending us water from Bolton should not be sanctioned. In the first place this plan, as we understand it—and we believe we are right—is a somewhat improved, and per haps enlarged, modification.of one which the same Mr. Hawkesley projected for the supply of Manchester, in Oc tober, 1845, and which in July of the present year was, upon its merits, withdrawn from a committee of the House of Commons. Whether that will suit Liverpool which was supposed to be inadequate for Manchester, we shall not determine, though we have a strong opinion upon the subject with which we need not trouble the reader now. By this plan, which is identical, nearly, with what is said to be before the committee of the Town Council, it was proposed to drain 4400 acres of a precipitous district, about 1600 feet above the sea, near Bolton. The yield was calculated at about 4a millions of gallons per diem, which were to be impounded in the Turton and Entwistle reservoir—an artificial basin belonging to a private body of millowners, who are styled "commissioners." This reservoir was to be enlarged considerably, the water was then to be conveyed to Manchester by pipes, part of which passed upon a railway. It was, however, admitted that taken alone, without the aid of the existing water company at Manchester, the supply would not be equiva lent to 20 gallons per diem per head. This was fatal. But in great works there are often jobs, small or great, according as there is opportunity or want of vigilance. Before the water could be delivered in Manchester, there was a large body of mill-owners, who were to be compen sated for the abstraction of waters from their ponds; coal-owners, who had to be indemnified ; and the proprie tors of falls on several streams, two of which we recollect are called the Wayoh and the Whittlestone-head brooks, who demanded compensation in the shape of annual tent. These formidable items told upon the estimate, and there was no security for sufficiency of supply. But something more must be mentioned. The principal parties who proposed to be so patriotic and sanatory towards Man chester had another object, quite disinterested, of course. They formed themselves into a public Joint Stock Company. The Reservoir Commission was found not to pay. It was in debt and mortgaged. Mr. Hardcastle, one of the Commissioners, was Chairman of the Joint Stock Company, and he had £lO,OOO secured on the reservoir, of which sum it was difficult toobtain the interest. This gentleman, also,. was the owner of the land, which it was proposed to take for the enlargement of the resorvoir; and in his character of a mill-owner, he had £297 per annum to pay for, his share of the waters. It was proposed by the bill, and would, no doubt, have been enacted, that the Reservoir Commissioners should transfer themselves and their property to the new company ; that Mr. Hardcastle's mortgage and all other liabilities should be undertaken ;. and lastly, that the millowners who filled their boilers with water from the reservoir, and paid fot it, should for ever afterwards be supplied for nothing. Mr. Hardcastle would thus have obtained the best price for his land ;, the security for his mortgage would have been improved ; and he with others released from a con siderable obligatory annual charge. The interest of this gentleman in the new company ought to be known. He signed the deed for no less than £77,500, or somewhere about one-fifth of the whole capital. But, as we said, the scheme was defeated ; and the Corporation of Man chester, who vehemently opposed the bill, together with the Manchester and Salford Waterworks Company, were the means of eliciting these somewhat important facts. Now, it is utterly impossible that any water can be brought from Bolton without some arrangement of an expensive character with the many great interests which have claims upon the drainage from those hills. But having failed in Manchester, it may readily be understood that the security of the Corporation of Liverpool would be jumped at. Mortgages on concerns not over prospe rous, moor land, and capital sunk in the driving of cotton mills, and the replenishment of ponds for bleacheries and Print-works, we hope are understood here. The com mittee of the Town Council are doubtless " wide awake," as Lord Brougham said when a noble lord charged him with being asleep during one of the late Corn Law debates. The Bala Lake scheme is not liable, at all events, to such objections as attach to the Bolton plan. Let it be remembered that these compensations, and mortgages, and releases would for ever prevent the possibility of cheap water, even if the supply were adequate. The abundance of the supply from the hills of Bolton is even yet doubtful. At all events, most satisfactory explanations must be given before we, as independent members of the Liverpool press, can permit the burgesses to be saddled with a scheme which at present appears, if not impossible, most imprudent and ineffective. ACCIDENTAL DEATH ON BOARD SHIP.—An inquest was held yesterday before Mr. Curry, on view of the body of John Hughes, a rigger, 69 years old. Deceased fell from the fore-topmast rigging of the ship Diadem, ly ing in the Victoria Dock, on Friday morning. He fell on the deck, and the back part of his head was broken in. Deceased was taken alive to the Northern Hospital, but died next day. Verdict, " Accidental death." RE-OPENING OF THE SCHOOLS AT CREWE.— On Friday evening last, the much-esteemed good folks at Crewe celebrated the re-opening of their handsome school-rooms by a public tea party, at which upwards of three hundred people, men, women, and children en joyed themselves, and if uproariousness is a proof of enjoyment, they were superlatively happy. The Rev. Walter Butler presided, and addressed the audience on the subject of education, and was followed by the Rev. Mr. Cooper, rector of Coppenhall. After the addresses they adjourned to the boys' school where Mr. Andrews, of Liverpool, amused them for an hour with his phantas magoria. These schools have been rebuilt on a larger scare, the former rooms being too small. INQUEST.—Yesterday, an inquest was held before the borough coroner, on view of the body of John Connolly, aged 28 years. (in Saturday week, deceased was ad mitted into the workhouse, and placed in the medical ward. He complained of the bowel complaint, and also of soreness in his left side, adding that " the police had killed him ; that he was drunk in Dale-street, and that an officer had struck him with his baton." He died on Tues day last. The house-surgeon at the Workhouse observed in deceased symptoms of delirium tremens when he was admitted, and on a post-mortem examination could disco ver no marks of injury on the body. He had no doubt but that he had died from delirium tremens, brought on by excessive drinking.—Verdict accordingly. litistt SocrETY.—The anniversary of this society will be held, we perceive, on Sunday next and following days. We are glad to find that the interest felt on behalf of this excellent society continues unabated. Its object, as our readers are aware, is to instruct the native Irish in the Scriptures in their own language; and in pursuing so desirable an object, the society has been greatly blessed. Numbers owe their knowledge of Divine Truth to the labours of this invaluable institution. For meetings and sermons, &c., we beg to direct our readers to an adver tisement in our columns to-day. It will be observed that the sermon at St. Barnabas' for the society, to be preached . by the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, will be delivered therein the evening by that reverend gentleman, and not in the morning, as announced in the printed bills. THE LATE REV. DR. TATTERSHALL. When a good man dies, we too ofte.i discover, for the first time, his value. If this is true abstractedly, it is certainly so in the case of the rev. gentleman of whose career on earth we are about to attempt a humble me moir. We have had the Rev. Dr. Tattershall - amongst us for many years, labouring faithfully and unostentati ously as a minister; and it is only when we are deprived of his talents and zeal, that we learn how much they have been prized both by his friends, and by those in religion and in politics opposed to him. The late gr. Tattershall was the son of a Wesleyan minister. lie was entered as a sig'ar at Queen's College, Cambridge, and took the d-gree of B.A. in 1816, standing amongst his clever competitors, Dr. Whewell, &c., as the 7th wrangler. Upon this part of his career an intimate and rev. friend thus remarks : "It was in 1814 that I first bee ime acquainted with Dr; Tattershall. tie was then an undergraduate of Queen's College, Cambridge. We frequently met at the rooms of a mutual friend. Although very young, his clas sical and mathematical attainments were considerable ; and great expectations. were formed of his ultimate success, both by men of his own College, and others who had the happiness of his acquaintance. I remember on one occa sion, while breakfasting with that profound - mathema tician, Dr. Milner, the Dban of Carlisle, and Master of Queen's, that my late friend became the subject of con versation. The Dean, in his characteristic manner re marked, that he was greatly mistaken, if that lad did not prove more than a match for most men of his year. Nor was he much wrong in his anticipations ; for in the January examination of 1816 for his B. A. degree, he attained the distinguished place of seventh wrangler, when competing with such men as Jacob of Caics, and Whewell of Trinity, and some others scarcely less eminent, and was made Fellow of his College. Durirg his undergraduateship, at least, that part of it, in which I was resident in the University, he was most regular in his attendance to all• the rules of the College, and bore the character, not only of a moral, but of a religious young man. He never shrunk from avowing his sentiments, while be was never. offensively forward in making them known. From the liveliness of his disposition, his good-humoured affability, and his sterling good sense, he was a universal favorite among his friends and companions. "On leaving College, I lost sight of him until our acquaintance was renewed on his coming to Liverpool. It is well known with what ardour and energy he entered upon his charge at St. Matthews' in Key-street ; how soon his schools became among the largest in Liverpool, and how attached• and affectionate were the congregation among whom he ministered; an attachment and affection in no way diminished by his removal to St. Augustine's, where he closed his earthly career. "Dr. Tattershall was a man ready to do every good work. To his power—yea, beyond his power—he laboured for the benefit of Jew and Gentile; and many, especially of the seed of Abraham, will call him blessed. " As a scholar, be was profound rather than brilliant ; as a reasoner, clear and perspicuous; as a friend, affection are and constant ; as a Christian, holy and devout ; as a minister, active, energetic, and useful. He descends to the grave embalmed in the affections of his brethren and friends, and honoured and beloved by all who knew him." The concluding portion of this communication is the tribute of a faithful friend, and contains not a line which is not honourable both to the deceased and to him who offers the record of his worth. On leaving college, which was not until four years after taking his degree of 8.A., during which time he was a private tutor—and at the present day some of his quondam pupils look back with pleasure upon the information de rived from his geometrical lectures delivered by him in that capacity—he took a curacy, we believe in Glouces tershire. His father and mother he buried in the church yard of All Saints, Huntingdon. In 1820, he took the degree of M.A., and in 1521 was elected fellow of his college. In 1838 he took the degree of D.D. When he first entered upon his ministerial duties in Li verpool, in 1824, there were difficulties for an evangelical clergyman to struggle against, which now happily, through God's blessing, have been removed. He, with two more dear friends—one of whom is still spared to his flock — stood in a manner quite alone; and surely no better testimony could be tendered of his simplicity in preaching Christ, than the crowded aisles of St. Mat thew's Church ; especially when the poor and destitute condition of the people in that district is considered. He was instrumental in establishing day and Sunday schools for that part of the town, and nothing gave greeter plea sure to his benevolent mind than, on the recurrence of the annual meeting of the teachers and friends of these schools, to be able to join in their anniversary of gra titude for the Lord's mercies. Even after he had removed to his later sphere of duty at St. Augustine's, to which he was appointed in 1830, he was not forgetful " of his first love." His extensive charity led him to countenance and support most of the institutions in the town, which have for their object the temporal or spiritual welfare of man, based upon true Christian principles, and not opposed to the spirit of God's holy word. There are few clergymen in Liverpool who have been found so accessible,lwhen called upon to lend their aid to any work of charity, or to preside over any effort to ameliorate the condition or advance the temporal or eternal happiness of his fellow-creatures. To the call of the Bible Society, the Jews' Society, the Church Missionary Society, the Pro testant Association, and other similar appeals upon a Christian minister, he ever readily responded; and his countenance was in every case heartily greeted by men of every persuasion, as is evidencee by the frequency with which he was called upon to preside over such meetings in the capacity of chairman, and the marked deference which was always paid to his opinions on such occasions. In this sense the lamented deceased had no bias, party, or religions. He was the friend to every man who sought to find God, or to confer a benefit upon his kind. Upon his performance of his- ministerial functions in Liverpool, we need scarcely offer a word. His early proficiency in mathematics and geometry we have already referred to. He was undoubtedly a first rate geometrician ; and in fact this may easily be inferred from his discourses in the pulpit, their characteristic being deep thought combined with close reasoning. However, the chief value of his discourses consisted in the setting forth of Jesus Christ and Him crucified—the doctrine of justification by faith alone—and good works as the neces sary evidence of a saving faith. In his decease the Church has lost a standard bearer; the rich, a kind but faithful reprover and instructor; the poor, a sympathising pastor. His beloved wife has been called to lose a most tender and affectionate husband ; his children have been deprived of a loving and pious father ; and the district of St. Augustine has to mourn the loss of a faithful minister. The rev. gentleman preached on Sunday week, much against the wish of his friends, a sermon in behalf of the schools connected with St. Augustine's Church, in the prosperity of which he was deeply interested, himself tak ing occasionally the direction of a class. In the evening he was seriously indisposed ; and on Thursday morning he breathed his last, his complaint being, we believe, in flammation of the kidneys. The deceased will be interred this (Tuesday) morning, at Everton Church, and no doubt numbers of his bereaved flock and friends will follow his remains to their last earthly resting place; and on Sunday morning next the Rev. Hugh Al`Neile will preach his funeral sermon at St. Augustine's. The services at St. Augustine's, on Sunday, were taken, in the morning by the Rev. Dr. Booth, late Vice-Principal of the Collegiate Institution, and the Rev. Mr. Towline. We regret to say that the shock of the decease of his revered incumbent had seriously affected the health of this gentleman, and his physical powers were considerably taxed by the labour of reading the morning service. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Booth, from Ist Thessal. chap. iv. ver. 13. In the course of the discourse, which was a review of the support given by Christianity to the saints under affliction, the Rev. Doctor alluded in most feeling; terms to the irreparable loss the congregation had so suddenly been called upon to sustain. They might succeed, he said, in r enlacing their lamented pastor by a more eloquent minister, but one more affectionate, pains taking, and learned, he boldly said it, it would be imirs- Bible to find. The Rev. Doctor improved the occasion, we hope to the spiritual comfort of all who heard him. Not one dry eye was in the church ; and the weeping and tears will continue with many " till time and death shall be no more." The melancholy event was improved in all the other churches in the town—the Rev. John Jones, of St. Andrew's, paying a special tribute to the memory of his old and highly esteemed friend. Dr. Tattershall, though a forcible writer and an acute thinker, had not the ambition of appearing before the world in the professed character of an author. Never theless, the persuasion of his friends, and the desire of the public, brought him into print, though not so often as, for the cause of Christian literature and of science, we could have desired. Many persons must recollect the earnestness with which, in numerous speeches at the Music-hall, the Amphitheatre, and in other places, he defended the principle of religious education against the Irish system—a system of which we well remember him predicting, that it would be attended with no results commensurate with the risks of the tremendous change it involved. His addresses at the various Protestant meet ings have frequently been reported in this paper, and they may • yet be referred to as models of sound doctrine, con veyed in the best language. The following is a list of his published works, as far as we know. The list probably is imperfect; but it contains all, we beli eve , th a t th e Doctor published during his incumbency of St. Augus tine's : The Deity and Person Lli%)of the Holy Ghost. Justification. A Ser • preached in St. Andrew's Church, Liverpool. The Scripture Doctrine of Election ; being th e Sub stance of Five Sermons, preached in St. Augustine's Church, Everton. The Right of Private Judgment. A Sermon preached in St. :Michael's. The Integrity of the Canon of Holy S cr ipt ure main tained against Unitarian Objections. On the Lawfulness of Rulers Employing their Official Influence for the Promotion of True Religion. A Sermon preached in St. Augustine's Church, Everton, at the re quest of the Young Men's Established Church Society. The Scripture Doctrine of the Atonement. An Elementary Treatise on the Differential and Inte gral Calculus. Dr. Tattershall's reputation as a scholar may be inferred from the fact that sc i ons f rom no bl e an d ar i s t ocra tic families were for many years confided to his care. Some of his pupils have already achieved college distinctions; others are progressing in that difficult but enviable path ; and all will, we hope, reflect the lessons they received from their lamented master in a life of virtue like his.

FOURTH EDITION. Standard-office, Ha t !f-past Four o'clock. - - UNICIPAL ELECTION. ADJOURNED PROC'EEDINGS. CLOSE OF THE POLL.—Foua O'CLOCK. SCOTLAND WARD. Mr. James Holme (c). Mr. William Thornhill (a) Majority for Mr. Holme 8 After the poll had closed, tthe Chairman of the Com mittee for conducting Mr. Holine's election announced to the assemblage that that gentleman had been elected by a majority of eight votes. (Loud cheers.) Mr. JAMES HOLME then appeared, amongst the most deafening plaudits. He said that a few days ago he had addressed them as a candidate, but he had now the grati fication of addressing them as their represzntatiVe, by a majority of eight over his old and respected friend. There were many measures for the improvement of the town to be brought before the Council, and each that was conducive to their wants should have his fervent sapport, and he fancied he was able, ,practically, to give them an , attention that would quite equal to that bestowed Up= them by their previous- representative. He confessed an ignorance of the sanatory condition of the ward, but the canvass of it had shown him the neglected state of it. It had shown him into streets, at the north end of the ward, that were disgraceful to a body, powerful and influential" as the Corporation of Liverpool, but he trusted that at the' close of the ensuing three years (being unable, from fa tigue during the da;, to detail fully his professions) his conduct would be such, should he- be spared his health and strength, as would enable him again to meet their approbation on a similar occasion. (Loud cheers.) Mr. BENNETT, the Conservative member for St. Anne'a Ward, having been seen at the window, was then loudly called for. He briefly, but pithily, addressed the bur gesses, congratulating them on the representative they had cbosen—a man who had every desire to improve the moral and social condition• of the town—(cheers); and he trusted, by the efforts of , such men,. ere the three years had expired, we should find wide and roomy streets running north and south, east and west, cutting through those pestilential districts now in existence. (Hear.) The habitations of the working classes, too,. should be under the surveillance of the town, and the comfort of the inhabitants should l:se as much studied as the rate of interest to be derived by the builder. (cheers): Touching on the water and other popular questions, be• concluded amidst loud applause. SOUTH TOXTETH WARD Mr. William Watson (a) Mr. Thomas T.

A change of wind and more settled weather .has brought a , large arrival of foreign Wheat, Barley, Oats,-and Beans,. and several vessels got in this morning, in addition to the reported quantity, which caused buyers at this day's market to act with more than ordinary caution. The English supply of Wheat was. only moderate, the trade opened dull, and our millers bought sparingly, but at the cose the stands were pretty well cleared at a reduction of about 2s per quarter. Free foreign Is lower,. but at this decline there was a good demand for shipment to Ireland, also for barrel Flour at a proportionate reduction.. English Barley 2s, foreign 2s to 3s, Malt Is lower. This large arrival of foreign Oats has greatly depressed the trade; and. even at a reduction of Is per quarter Irish were neglected, .and foreign only in limited request, the feeling of the - dealers and consumers being that they shall shortly make their purchases' on still lower terir.s. Beans and Peas in fair consumptive de mend, without any change in value. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YES?.'ERDAY. The supply being more than the wants of the•flealers, the' Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at a decline in the quotations of 2(1. per Sib., and a clearance was not effected. The droves from the north comprised 2100 short-horns; front the western and midland districts, 900 Herefords, , runts, De - vons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; from Ireland, 90; and from Scotland. 120 Beasts.
