It will be itinem bered that, when the Committee On the Petition had commenced their investigation, we suggested the names of Messrs. HORSFALL and MOORE as eligible candidates, in the event of the decision being unfavourable. At that time no other names had been proposed, and it was not until after the Committee had concluded their labours that the name of the Hon. H. T. LIDDELL was mentioned. In our next publication we adopted the proposition, and when on last Tuesday a doubt was thrown on the definitiveness of the refusal of Mr. BRAMLEY MOORE to accede to the request made to him to become a candidate, we unhesitatingly accepted it as a refusal, applauded it as such, and urged upon the Conservative Electors the importance and ne cessity of acting with union in support of Messrs. HORSFALL and LIDDELL. We regret exceed ingly that Mr. MOORE should have been over persuaded by those who influenced him from ulterior motives, and allowed himself to be placed in the invidious position which he occupied at the election. He deemed, perhaps, that considera tions of personal favour towards himself would have secured his return, and he permitted himself to be guided by the solicitations of others, when his own better judgment would have taught him that the certainty of two Conservatives being returned—and which could only be accomplished by union—was of far higher consequence than the triumph of any particular individual. The mistake which he com mitted was evident in the low position which he occupied on the poll ; but we have no hesitation in asserting that Mr. MOORE is far more gratified at the paucity of his own votes securing the return of Mr. LIDDELL, than he would have been had his higher position, by dividing the Conservatives, permitted the Radicals to occupy the second place. We cannot congratulate our political opponents on their felicity in the choice of acandidate, though there is very little doubt, from the long delay which took place, that he was the last resort of an expiring faction. He commenced with the advantage of not being known ; but he availed himself so well of the opportunity afforded him, that the Electors of Liverpool must now feel grateful for being spared from the infliction with which they were threatened. Last week we exposed the absurdity of his preten sions, from the fact of his being a retired Indian Judge, who hail been twelve years absent from England. We carefully abstained from hazarding a syllable against his personal qualifications, from unwillingness to prejudge him, notwithstanding his Radical professions ; but we have since heard him on his own behalf, and feel ourselves at a loss to do justice to his claims. Sir ERSKINE PERRY, fresh from his infidel proteges in India, is a genuine specimen of the genus Radical in his untamed fero city. His -speech on the hustings on Thursday was amodel production in matter and in manner—a combination of ignorance and impudence in full blown Imuriance, in which it is difficult to say which -predominated. He accused the Liverpool Merchants of the grossest ignorance of their own interests, and then betrayed his own by asserting that the V 6 0 millions of the inhabitants of India would be eager consumers of the woollens of Yorkshire and Scotland, if the Ministerial India Bill were allowed to pass. Their religion forbids them to wear any animal production, and he himself—this immacu late -Judge—avowed that he would prevent them 'from being converted to Christianity until they had arrived at an age when conversion was almost hope- less. It would be, however, a waste of argument to refute the absurdities of which this pragmatical upstart was guilty, and the House of Commons shoull be grateful to the Electors of Liverpool for having saved them from the annoyance which his presence there must have occa -sioned. 'We must refer to our Radical con 'temporaries for a report of his harangue, for, •otherwise, it might be deemed incredible that any individual pretending to the dignity of a senator • - could have uttered such a fan - ago of insolent bom bast. When the conclusion of the poll had con vinced him of the utter hopelessness of his preten sions, he addresseda crowd in Clayton-square, and we must do him thejustice to say that he then spoke with more sense and better temper. On the latter occasion he was supported .by Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE and Mr. JEFFERY, whose remarks are scarcely deserving of comment, except for that total departure from truth which even the excite •ment of an election cannot justify. It has long ,!been believed that a renegade Conservative makes the worst Radical, and Mr. GLADSTONE seems determined to prove the truth of the saying, though we can readily suppose that in his sober moments he would regret his profane allusions to Christianity and his unjust aspersions on Liverpool clergymen, for which he had not the shadow of a foundation. Mr. JEFFERY IS, no doubt, a respectable man in his sphere of life, but his veracity may be called in question when he asserts that of the ten thousand he saw before him, (which were, in reality, not above, , two thousand,) there was not one intemperate person, and that of the vast orowd assembled before the A.delphi Hotel, to listen to the Conservative members, three out of every Four were in a state of' d in e t r ox so ica , t vi i d o e n. ly f l r f om a m tb a e n t w ru il r l b per , b m e h u i s m t u se o l t f b to e w s a u n r: m prised at an epithet more forcible than courteous being applied to him. We have little to comment on the Candidates who have been -returned. Their position on the poll, with such overwhelming majorities, is a sufficient reply to all that can be given utterance to by disap pointed ambition; and, though some hints have been thrown out about another Petition, we can afford to smile at such impotent malice. The Election was won by the spontaneous votes of the Electors, who knew how to appreciate constitutional principles; and, though the foul calumny against the Freemen is repeated, that they waited till the afternoon to be bought, and that their votes could have been purchased to secure the return of the Radical candidate, the most complete answer will be found in the hourly state of the poll, by which it will be seen that Messrs. HORSIPALL and LIDDELL were in a majority at nine o'clock, and steadily increased their majority hour by hour until the close. The following are the numbers as declared by the Mayor on Saturday : Mr.T. B. HORS FALL 6,o34—majority, 1,361 Hon. H. T. LIDDELL s,s43—majority, 870 Sir E. PERRY 4,673 Mr. J. B. MOORE 1,274 The following were the numbers at the close of the election last year Mr. CHAS. TURNER .. 6 ,693—majority, 1,446 Mr.W. F. MACKENZlE.6,377—majority, 1,130 Mr. E. CARDWELL .. 5,247 Mr. J. C. EWART .... 4,910 So that, allowing for the smaller number who voted, the preponderance of Conservative votes is about the same. THE LIVERPOOL CONSTITUENCY. THERE is a class of persons who, having taken up an idea for party purposes, are impervious to all proofs of its falsity, however strong and convincing they may be to unprejudiced minds. Such is the position of those who wildly adhere to the assertion that the Electors of Liverpool, especially the Free men, are corrupt and corruptible, and that Con servative majorities are only obtained by practices unsanctioned by morality, and which the law has declared to be illegal. It would have been thought that the recent inquiry before the Committee of the House of Commons had demolished this filthy web of foul scandal against a body of men whose sole offence is that they are not to be bought with tbitration.

" HONEBTA."—We noticed the insinuation attempted to be conveyed againtt us in the notorionify scurrilous Saturday print alluded to. When he thinks •ite can benefit his pocket by so doing, this unscrupulous perverter of facts never hesi tates to misrepresent and malign a - eontemporary ; and, with regard to public men, a small order for printing, or an adver— tisement, would, at any time, secure his favour—and the loss of it, his wrath—as we are in a position to prove. We are under no obligation to Mr. BRAT UET-MOORE : we first mentioned his name in connexion with the representation of the borougbovithout any communiontion with that gentle. man or his friends ; but, when the-names of two Conservative gentlemen bad been fairly brought before the public, we at once accepted the nomination, and strenuously urged the. importance of -anion and determination. We had not the slightest interelt in the success or defeat of Mr. BRASILET MOORE other than as it affected the ascendancy of Conserva tive principles in the representation; but we unhesitatingly assert that, had he been returned-an Friday, instead of being at the bottom of the poll,, there is not an individual, in Liverpool who would have heaped so much slavish adula tion on Mr. BRASILET-MOGRE the. Successful, as the con temptible scribbler who now pours his coarse invective on - Mr. BRANILET-MGORE the Defeated. We have had many proofs of this fact ; and if our readers require an example, we need . only -refer them to the fulsome compliments bestowed upon Mr. FORBES.MAZ KENZIE during the last twelve months, and the disgraceful attack upon that gentleman the moment he ceased to be , ouritepresentative, when nothing more could be hoped from his favour. We have never, in a single instance, been the aggressor in an uncourteous or .ungenerous allusion to a brother journalist. We have too much respect for our selves to pursue a oourse which, while offensive to our readers, must tend to lower the dignity of the press; and we regret that we. should. on this occasion have been called upon, in self-defence, to reply to the malicious attack- of a print which has more than once been designated as •"41 ,DISGRACE TO THE TORY P.ARTT" in this town. Etinpoot fitanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY IE, i 1853. THE 'ELECTION. Tam contest, which , was brought to a close on Friday, was one of the most extraordinary in the annals.of Liverpool,:involving, as it did, a eonfusion of parties which left speculation at fault as to the issue, until the actual polling showed that our advice of last week had been , followed,—that personal eon. siderations had been allowed to give way to the more important end of vindicating constitutional principles,-..-and that union and determination had succeeded in securing the triumphant return of the two Conservative Candidates. So doubtful was deemed the result, owing to the fear that the bring. ing forward of Mr.I3nAMLEY-MO4;RE would weaken the Conservative ranks, that wagers were confidently laid on the success .of Sir ERSKINE PERRY ; and, though all agreed that Mr. HOR&FA I LL would be at the top of the poll, great difference of opinion .existed as to who would occupy the second place, until the closeness of the numbers polled for Mr. LIVDELL at an early hour left no doubt that the Conservative Electors had justified the ,confidence which had been placed in them, and had 'shown their determination to win by adhering to their pre vious resolutions. Had the contest simply rested, as it did at the former election, between the Con. servatives and the Radicals, there never could have been a vestige of uncertainty as to the issue, wh at __ ever exertions may have been made by the latter party to gain their object. They had so thoroughly exposed the badness of their cause, and the hollow. ness of their pretensions before the Committee upon their notorious Petition, that Liverpool rejected them with scorn and indignation, and the announcement of a Radical Candidate was only viewed as an amusing incident to add the semblance of a contest to what might have been otherwise an unexciting affair, as even victory loses half its charms when too easily achieved. The appearance, however, of Mr. BRAMLEY. MOORE, a fellow-townsman and a professed Con servative, under somewhat equivocal auspices, lent a new feature to the affair which deserves a passing remark, particularly as a local contemporary has ventured an insinuation against ourselves, to which Radical money, nor deceived by Radical promises; and so it has, in the mind of every one but a de mented Liberal, who has neither the sense to per ceive nor the honesty to acknowledge when he is wrong. The foolish men who were not content with spending £12,000 to gain an object which is further than ever out of their reach, have through their organs repeated the slander upon which their claim was founded, and must now stand published to the world as wilfully guilty of the grossest men dacity. This is not a simple question of rival par ties contending for the hononr of a prize, but one in which the character and reputation of the town are concerned ; and while we are zealously anxious for the good name of Liverpool, that the Electoral body, and particularly the Freemen, should stand in the eyes of the world at large free from the foul charge, we are compelled to acknowledge that the greatest blot upon its fair fame is having among its own sons the men who have made the accusation. There is an old saying, that it is a bad bird which fouls its own nest, and Liverpool must remain under the stigma of having her worst enemies within her own bosom ; men who not only sought to have their fellow-townsmen convicted of corrup tion, but who did it with the moral certainty that there was not an atom of truth in the charge. It was proved before the Committee ; but the last few days have shown the infamy of the falsehood in a still more striking manner. In the first case, they resorted to the miserable plea that working-men had been paid a day's wages when they did not work, but this paltry subterfuge will not avail them now, for none were paid, and yet the two Conser vatives have been returned by enormous majorities, Mr. HORSFALL beating his Radical competitor by almost as large a major;ty as that by which Mr. CHARLES TURN ER topped the renegade CARDWE LL. The Election of last week was a model of purity,as far as the Conservatives were concerned ; and if any money was illegally spent, it was by their opponents, as their last desperate chance. The Freemen, how ever, stand acquitted in the eyes of the world of the slightest approach to electoral impurity,—they have nobly vindicated their character so unjustly assailed,—and if any one dare to repeat the charge, it may be flung back with all the indignation which such a foul calumny justly merits. There is something more than ordinarily gratify ing in being able to refer to the Election of Friday last as one of the grandest instances on record of a popular constituency being actuated by the truest spirit of independence, and, at the same time, sup porting the great principles of our Institutions in Church and State. It was no wild mob joining in an insensate cry for the specious projects of some popular demagogue ; but men of all ranks and con ditions of life, from the princely merchant to the humble artisan, each one independent in his own sphere of life, possessing the electoral franchise, and showing by their votes that they could appreciate the blessings of good government and the mainte nance of the British Constitution in its integrity, unbiassed by the thousand schemes of innovation with which the Radicals delude their victims. Liverpool may boast her Docks and her Shipping, which penetrate every port in the habitable globe. She may proudly claim to be the capital of that vast commerce which the world never saw equalled; but, after all, her proudest boast will be the glorious fact, that out of her large constituency overwhelm ing majorities of unbought and almost unsolicited votes returned two Conservatives to represent her interests in the Commons House of Parliament. The closing of such a day as Friday last would wipe out the stain of years of corruption, if it ever existed. The Freemen have made their own best defence to the charge which was to effect their disfranchisement and should it ever be repeated, the expressive monosyllable with which their own native Saxon language tersely describes a falsehood will be the only answer required. THE NATIONAL REVENUE. TSE usual quarterly statement of the National Income up to the sth of July, which was pub lished on Wednesday, presents, as we antici pated last week, a very favourable view of the elasticity of our resources, and the increased f p o r r o s t p h e e r i y t ye year f th o e u r r home eis a t n et rade increase . Up of the f n l,9 account : arising from Excise, £531,195; Stamps, £474,487; Taxes, £51,345; Property-tax, £225,169; Post office, £25,000; Crown Lands, £172,888; Imprest and other Money, £163,785; and Repayments of Advances, £479,583; from which are deducted a n D e e o c u r s e , a s s e 4 0 3 n ,086. c £ o s u 7, nt 4l f 2, n 0 r the ed QuarterM i s cel a i s still more favourable, there being a net Increase of no less than £1,146,636: arising from Customs, 441,173; Excise, £352,101; Stamps, £48,322; Taxes, 6,776; Post-office, £21,000; Crown Lands, 140,888 ; Imprest and other Money, £44,071 ; and Repayments of Advances, £207,921. The only items on which there is a decrease are Property-tax, £3,964, and Miscellaneous, £111,652. The sum which has to be invested during the quarter for the reduction of the National Debt amounts to £615,185, which is larger than during any of the preceding quarters of the years, and will, no doubt, have a favourable influence on the value of Public Securities, as it will tend to relieve the market of so much floating stock, or lessen the amount which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will have to provide for the repayment of South-Sea stock, which the holders have refused to convert. This improvement in the position of the national finances, arising from industrial activity and the greater capabilities for the consumption of duty paying commodities enjoyed by the population, is of course eagerly seized upon as irrefragable testi mony in favour of the success of Free-trade policy, which, we are glibly told, has removed the fetters from the springs of industry, and shown an admiring worli what Commerce can do when left to its own energies. Such a conclusion should be arrived at with more caution than our Liberal con temporaries bestow on a consideration of this ques tion, or we may be attributing effects to causes which have had nothing to do in producing them. The especial object of the modern code of financial policy was to increase the power of consumption by a general reduction of prices, and thereby to dimi nish the value of labour, and in a proportionate degree to enhance that of capital. It was for this alone that the manufacturers so cordially joined in the movement, as they confidently hoped that a reduction in the price of food would lead to a general lowering of wages, by which they would have been enabled to undersell their competitors in Foreign markets. Providence has, however, worked against them, and, by the enormous discoveries of gold, enhanced not only the value of commodities gene rally, but that of labour in a greater degree, as the flood of emigration has tended to reduce the com- petition of workmen. While Free-trade, therefore, would have operated to lower prices, the gold dis coveries e h r a i e t s o have c commercial been e r t c h i the iprosperity, main and raisingthe would conse quent increase in the National Revenue , are owing to causes directly the reverse of those to which they are attributed. The gold-fields of Californiaand Australia have saved us from a monetary crisis, i n t o au se o f a n d them, t h e dread which we should have been precipitated by Free trade, of aans aspect ee ci t nt h g n the calamity fiv o Ipoliticalve d a i n the affairsu t the irnti presenthnoeutime East, s expense have been rendered more disastrous f rom considerably rivingusof oneaugrnented by the disturbances threa tening en e n s gsee d r eoi pis a general European war. A s i t i s, the of our great sources for the supply of food, and we shall not be able to consider our. selves as a nation in a state of real independence, until we can once more rely on our own broad acres far a sufficiency of the first necessaries of life. THE REGISTRATION. THE triumph of an Election just won should not make us forgetful of the sinews of constitutional strength, and the prudence of providing for similar triumphs whenever the occasion shall arise. It has become a political axiom that " the battle of the constitution is to be fought in the Registration courts ;" and every succeeding year shows the im portance of the Conservatives attending to this necessary branch of their public duties. For the Counties the first point to be attended to is, for those whose names are not on the register, and who are entitled to be so, to send in their claims to the overseer of the parish where the property is situate, on or before to-morrow week, the 20th inst. This will apply to all owners of freeholds of the annual value of £2, and leaseholders and tenants at-will of £5O a-year. Those who are now on the register, but who have changed their residence during the year, must give notice of the same. For Cities or Boroughs all rates or taxes made prior to the sth of January must be paid before the 20th, whether applied for or not. And notice must be given to the overseer of all changes of resi dence since the last revision. All persons are en titled to be registered who have occupied premises rated to the relief of the poor to the extent of li:t annually for one year previous to the 31st of July. Every person entitled to be on the register should examine the lists on the church doors the first three weeks after the last day of July, and, if his name be omitted, should send in his claim to the overseers, and also object to any names improperly placed there. A due attention to these particulars would secure many triumphs of Conservative principles at future elections. THE MAYOR'S BANQUET TO THE CANDIDATES. On Saturday evening, his Worship the Mayor enter tained the successful and unsuccessful Candidates for then Borough, at a sumptuous banquet in the Town-hall. Although one of our contemporaries has furnished its readers with a garbled report of the proceedings, we do not wish to follow the example. It has never been our custom in such cases to give a pretended report of that which was meant to be strictly private, and to which no reporters were invited. We can only say that all the candidates accepted of the Mayor's hospitality, and that nothing occurred to interfere with the harmony of a festive occasion. It is stated in the Albion, of yesterday, that, at the Mayor's banquet, " out of 54 present, perhaps 15 were Liberals." This, however, could not have been the fault of his Worship, as he sent to each committee an equal number of invitations. Mr. Robertson Gladstone, Mr. Eyre Evans, Mr. Joseph C. Ewart, Mr. C. E. Rawlins, Mr. R. W. Ronald, Mr. Charles Robertson, Mr. James Crosfield, Mr. James Macrae, and other members of the Liberal party were invited, but declined the invitation. The impartiality of the Mayor throughout the election has been acknowledged by all, and we deem it cur duty to correct the impression which the statement in the Albion is calculated to produce. THE NUNNERIES QUESTION. PROTESTANT PETITION FROM LIVERPOOL. The following petition was signed in one day by upwards of eight hundred individuals belonging to the congrega tion assembling in St. John's Church, in this town. We have pleasure in recording this eminently practical con. elusion to the lecture of the respected incumbent, the Rev. W. F. Taylor, reported in the last number of the Standard, and we hope the publication of the form of petition may stimulate other congregations to do some thing before the 20th instant, when the important ques tion, inaugurated by Mr. Chambers, will come again before the House of Commons. The petition from St. John's congregation has, we believe, been entrusted to our worthy representative, Mr. Horsfall, and its presen tation to parliament will form a fitting introduction to hie duties. The petition runs as follows : TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT ASSENIBLED. The Petition of the undersigned Ministers, Wardens, and Members of the Congregation of St. John's Church, Liverpool, Humbly sheweth,—That your petitioners are deeply thankful to Almighty God that their lot has been cast in this favoured land of civil liberty and religious freedom; and are sincerely desirous that the same blessings should be enjoyed by every individual in the British empire. _ . That of late years a considerable increase has taken place in the United Kingdom of those establishments called Nunneries, to which places young and inexperienced females are allured, encouraged to take vows under pretence of which they are deprived of their personal liberties, and persuaded to alienate their property in favour of the Court of Rome. That the Canon Law of the Church of Rome (Council of Trent, Session xxv., 1. xvii.) plainly admits the possibility of young females twelve or sixteen years of age being "compelled or allured" into these places, or being led to take the step in "ignorance" of the fearful personal sacri ficethey are about to make. That It is plainly stated by a canonized saint of the Romish Church, "St. Alphonsus Liguori (Spouse of Christ, p. 551), that young females are sometimes "compelled by their parents, against their will," to enter into nunneries, and that when once in, "it is impossible to escape." Under these circumstances, your petitioners humbly -pray your Honourable House to take such m easures as s h a ll app l y the provisions of the clause in the Emancipation Act, for " the gradual suppression and final prohibition of Jesuits and other Romish fraternities" to societies of females bound by religious vows, as being ins' itutions essentially at variance with the genius Of the freedom of the British Constitution; and that, mean while, all such places be subject to frequent visitation and inspection by Her Majesty's justices of peace or of royal commissioners appointed for that purpose. And your petitioners will ever pray. THE ADMIRALTY have ordered three new screw line of-battle ships and three fifty-gun screw frigates to be built. THE GREAT BRlTAlN.—Necessary alterations in this leviathan screw-steamer will detain her in all probability till the 11th of August. Having succeeded in rendering the Great Britain as fine a clipper sailing ship as she is a steamer, it is now indifferent whether she be placed under c - invass or steam. Combining both in the most perfect manner, she will take advantage of favourable winds and disregard adverse, making rapid progress in light winds and calms, where sailing ships can make little or none whatever. Under these circumstances it cannot be doubted she will perform the voyage in a remarkably short time, and bring Australia as near by the Cape of Good Hope as it is by Egypt and Singapore. THE MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—At the sec)nd Police-court, yesterday, the four prisoners, Richd. Thomas, William Beresford, William Reed, and John Leatherby, were placed at the bar, charged with a mur derous assault, committed upon Police-officers Thomas Ireland, (553,) and Edward Hutchins, (43,) on the night of the 2nd instant, or morning of the 3rd, in a cellar in Roscoe•street. The details of the case have already ap peared in the Standard. The policemen assailed, with other members of the force, went to the cellar in question to take the prisoner Thomas into custody, on a charge of being concerned in a disgraceful " row," which took place adout an hour previously. Finding the door of the cellar locked, the officers, without a warrant, forced an entrance; whereupon the prisoners assailed the unwel come intruders, and, with a poker and a flat iron, frac tured the skull of Ireland, and severely maltreated Hutchins, ultimately ejecting the police, and proceeding to Bridewell to prefer a charge against the officers of hav ing illegally entered their premises while in liquor. Mr. Snowball, who appeared for the prisoners, contended that his clients were justified by the law in doing what they did to resist the illegal intrusion ; but the magistrates took a different view of the case, and the prisoners were accordingly committed for trial.
