CANADA,, ARErVAL OF THE ANGLO-SAXON. The screw-steamer Anglo-Saxon, Captain MIS/faster, which sailed from Quebec on the 10th instant, arrived here at eleven o'clock last night, after a most excellent passage of a little ever ten days. She brought 63 cabin and 112 steerage passengers. The news is four days later from Canada, and two from the United States. Its importance is confined o the state of monetary affairs in the provinces. According to the Montreal Argus, the aspect of the commercial horizon brightens, and certainly the banks have pursued a liberal and wise policy, and the result has fatly borne out the ,ost favourable anticipations. The Argus says : Not a single mercantile house has succumbed to the pressure, and all engagements have been promptly met at maturity. Every reasonable facility has been afforded to the prosecution of the ordinary business of the country ; the discounts having, we believe, by the leading bank of the Provinc.?. and other chartered institutions that have acted with it, been extended rather than curtailed. The main difficulty we have stated from the first, has been caused by the extreme depression of Bills of Exchange on Europe in the New York market, and the difficulty in consequence on the part of our banks in lodging funds in that city to meet the indebtedness of our merchants there. So long as a Bill of Exchange is only worth par in New York, it is evidt nt our banks cannot afford to pay 5 or 6 per cent prem:um here, for Exchange Bills on England, which they would have to remit there for sale to meet their drafts. tierce for such bills, and those drawn against produce now being shipped, the proceeds of which, it is presumed, will operate as a drain on their funds the banks now pay only par, or the rate at which their own bills are saleable in New York. For Bills of Exchange drawn against credits in Europe, or for ship ments made prior to this crisis, they allow, we believe, 5i per cent. ; within one per cent. of the rates at which they sell. The Commercial Advertiser, of the same city, remarks that business continues at a stand-still, particularly the export trade, the banks refusing even short and sigh , drafts on Qiebec, Kingstol, Toronto, and other cities; and cargoes of produce in transit u are mortgaged to pay freight. The Bank of Montreal ha 4 250,000 dols. in specie ordered from Englani, and the Bank of British North America the same amoul'. The latter institution is currently reported to have bought its bills in New York, and to be still engaged in the same business. The Advertiser is of a quite opposite ophlion to the Argus. It says : In the meantime while this financial fiddl in;; goes on, .his Rome of ours is on fire ; and we warn the Banks that they are preparing and inviting a run upon themselves by the course they are takinv. to avoid it. It is far better for them to pay out their specie to the last dollar as the result of a bold and generous expansion to aid the prompt transmission and conversion of the produce now ready, than to have to pay it out in a run resulting from a panic occasioned by themselves. A crash among the mercantile houses here which will inevitably follow a persistance by the Banks in their present course, will only precede by a few hours a general run upon themselves. In the former csse the whole country would support them in any steps necessary for their 'protection ; but in the latter, which seems their more probable end, there will not be even pity to waste upon the infatuation which dragged down ruin on our commerce, because as in some parts of India, cowards and drivellers had command of the sinews of war. If Canadian produce is not pushed for ward before the people of the United States come to their senses, and the immense surplus of that country is rushed into Europe, our shipments will come upon a glutted market, and a certain profit will be turned to an enormous loss. America will export this season more breadstuffs than in any similar term of her existence ; the cream of prices will be to the first market. Canada would have secured this but for the insanity of her Banks." - Tha political o: general news by the Anglo Saxon is very meagre indeed. The Provincial Parliament had been further prorogued to the end of November, and in the meantime several journals speak of a diss,lation. The Deputy Receiver General has instituted legal proceedings against the Toronto L aler, for presuming to suggest to the Government that an investigation into his accounts would not be out of place, considering his close connection with Messrs. Cummings ani C 3 the U?per Can id a Bank robbers. The Mo.ltreat Herald remarks— He will make little by the manceuvre. We cannot believe that the Government will be deterred on this account from doing wha is clearly n duty—a duty which they owe to themselves, and the country, whose financial raanagers they are, and which the Deputy Receiver General ought to have been the first to call upon them to oiachargo Nor do aro think that any jlsry would el,. a verdict against a journalist, wh®, iu the exercise of a grave public duty, forced upon him by sucpieious circumstances elicited before a police tribunal, advises the Government, to take a certain course with ono of its servants, wh eh, if fah hfully carried out, would set at rest, and for ever, the suspicions we have referred to. Mr. Anderson is an officer occupying an influential position, and holding a high and important trust. It is necessary, therefore. not only that he should be innocent, but, like Cxsar's wife, above suspicion.' COM ifERCIAL. We take the following from :‘lessrs. Forsyth, Bell, and Co.'s timber circular, dated _ _ QUEBEC, OCT. 10. Since the early part of Sen'ern'aer, our markets have gradually become worse and worse in consequence of the unprecedented state of money matters in the United States, and the great difficulty in negoei ding exchange on Diglaud, which has been sold at 7 to 8 per cent lower than the rate current a month ago. These added to the continued low prices in England of all wood goods, have greatly depressed prices, and the news by telegraph, received here on the morning of the Bth will, we fear, have a most injurious effect on many interested in the trade both in Q Lebec and on the Ottawa F 7 'fWhite pine has been sold in the raft at Oil to Rd for 69 feet ; sil for 55 fec•ti and 8d for 75 to 80, while in red the transactions havebeen Oak is mere inquired for than it has been of late, while elm, especially in shipping o'der, for 40 feet, camnamds our highest quotations.

The Medical Times and Lancet protest, as might be expected, against the ab:nrd and unworthy suggestion to which some of the Lou 'on newspapers have given currency, t' at the bones and other parts of the human body found on the buttress of Waterloo-bridge, on Friday, Octo`,er gtb, vrer, placed there by some medical students, as a practical hoax to horrify the British 1 eges. "In the name of common sense," 5a,76 the Medical Tines, " as well as in behalf of medical students in general, we entirely repudiate such a supposition." The Lancet rema ks on the sul‘ject Such an absurd suspicion could only have originated in the densest ignoranco. Students hive no greater opportunit es of obtaining possession of remains in the condition in which the e were found than any other members of socie.y, ani we can only express our extreme disgust at tha morbid obtuseness of the slanderer who dared to imp ite suet a barbarou s outrage by intelligent and edecated men." Mr. Richer 1 Bud I Painter, Surgeon to the F Division f the Metro politan Police F.,rce, has addressei the following letter to the .1 , 7 ?lc f "S:r,—As I find there is still an opinion hell by a few medical gentlemen, as well as by some of the pabac that the bones recently , found at Waterloo-bridge are not those of a murdered man, but the , remains of a dissection. I think it may be well to seal you a short account of what I have observed hitherto in the matter, e peciel y as lam the only medical practitioner that has yet reported on the . case. I therefore propose, on the present occasion, to give a short anatomical descripthen of the case, and will possib:y, at a future psr;od, give a more detaled account. " On being shown the bones at the Police-station, I proceeded to fit them together, and soon ascertained that they all belonged to one person—an adult man of an average, or perhaps above the general size. The head, the whole of the viscera, all the cervical and sev Of the dorsal vertebras were wanting, also th lef: c'avicle, p actions of the ribs, acromion process of the right scapula, both hands, both patellae, lower third of the left fibula, and both feet and tarsi. 0 f the bones present, five dorsal and two lumbar were in one piece, the ribs being sawn fc m the former. The upper and lewer portion of this piece of the backbone was sepal* tel from its adjoining bones by cut ating the intervertearal substance with a knife, and the articular and transverse processes with a saw. The lower lumbers ware cut in ha f through their bodies and attached to the pelvis. There were five portiere; of the thorax, throe of them belonging to the right side, and forming, when put together, eleven ribs nearly complete ; the two other portions were from the left side, one of which consisted of probably the second, third, anl fourth ribs, with part of the sternum. Between the third and fourth ribs, near the sterna n, was a eleaey cut stab, having its long axis ndwards and downwards, and exactly corresponding watt the direction andaneition of the cuts in the coat and under-waistcoat. Around this wound, fora distance o' two inches, blood was infl treed int l the tissues, both external to the thorax as well as beneath tee pleura. The next ribs helots, probably two or three, were missing, the other piece of the left side above mentionee being most likely parts of the seventh, eighth, and ninth. Thus the ribs immediately beneath the pats where the grea'er number of stabs in the clothes appear are missing. Bat the chaster of the cub above mentioned are qui , e conclusive as to the wound being infl cted during life. The thorax had not been opened in the invariab'e (as I believe) manner of anatomists—viz., by cutting the costal cartilages, but the sternum was sawn down the middle vertical'y. The right clavicle was I_ , ft hanging to the upper rib, an had a square loch o f dark skin n it. Tate right scapula was detaehea and had lost its acromion by the sow, and Wan roughly disarticulated from the humerus. Tee right radius and nina were in one piece, but sep .rated by rough disart'e !latices from the lan netts and hand. The left scapula was also separate, but scam from the humerus, to which the neck rem 'nee attache 1. At the seism joint the heads of the lett radius and ulna, party sawn, and partly broken off by great force, were also attached to the humerus. The rem titling portions of radius and ulna were together, and pro latsci. On the back of each wrist w•le a large patch of dark skin, with numerous long, black, i or darkish hairs. he pelvis was divided with a knife (I believe) at the eymphysis pubis, and with a sew down the centre of the sacrum. It was of large dimensions, the internal measurements being at the brine five inches lateral, and five inches and a querter antero-posterior. At tached to one of tee rami was a , Istinct portion of the corpus cover. nesum. T,.e heals of both fa Tnera were articulated, but sawn from their shares below the trozhanters. Thr right stump had muscle around it, and was flrmiy fixed, pointing almost at right angles to the body of deceased. The capsular ligament of the left hip joint was cut open, and an endeavour hal been made to wrench out the heal of the femu-, but it was held by the ligament= tares. The shafts of the femora were again cut just above the conayles, the right lower portion still rem,icing' attached ty the tibia. The left W 39 separated and detached by rough , utting. 113 right lib'a was cut at the junction o its lower third. T. .e right fibula was similarly divided and detached. The left tibia and fibula were similarly sawn. The lower portions of the right tibia and fi mla aed the left tibia formed separate fragments, and were dlserticalated from the missing tarsi. The right knee was strongly fitted, and had a large piece of skin with h.ir, as oa the wrists, firmly adherent to the head of the tibia. All the bones hal portions of muscles, nerves, arteries (unin )octoa), I. • , ndhprin2. cut shalt in a rough. " haggled " manner, and ha i not been dissecte I. The colour of the parts was reddish-brown externally, redder if cut into. No decomposition had taken place, excepting la the left acetsbulum, where there were blue diseolorations, and a very strong smell of putrefaction. No portions of ak n were present but those named. From the condition of the tend o,s, ar teries, cuticle, Bt,, , I should not wonder if the t,arts had been bo'led. "It is evident t xat when cala-prous rigidity set in, t►se ri ht thigh and leg ware strongly drawn up.vards ani outwards, the latter partly fiesta on the former. The left humerus must have been ab ducted from the side, and tha f.irerm half flexed and prJoated at the same time. " Some dark halrs were adherent to the remains, and also a few long ones of a lighter c)lonr. Some saline gritty partiles were found on the muscles, &c. These will probably be analysed. "I think I have said enough in this hurried note to show that a foul mur:er hts bean committed. I have not time to add core, or speak of the c'othes, and my chief object in writing this at all is to ende tvour to free my medic it brethren from the horrible imputatio❑ that they dispose of their subjects used for study in such a m uner cs this. "I am, sir, your obedient servant,. RICUARD BUDD PAINTZR. " Brydges-street, Covent-garden, Oct. 15.' Upon inquiry at the Bow•strezt police-station, on Tuesday, it was stated that Meters.

THE MUTINEERS 07 THE DUTCH BARQUE TWEN Tam Hands, Octob r 17th.—The rial of the 22 Malays for firing and des,rt ng the Datet barquo Twenthe, when off Madeira on the 12th ef Angust,lBs6, has just rermi gated. Lai Crown ha i demanded capital punish nent for the ringleader, and various terms of penal servitude for the others. In the c turse of the evidence, it transpired that they had been treated. with systematic cruelty by their captain, and by him exasperated to maines. which sough its reven;e by fast - ening down the captain and his mates in the cabin, and then firing the ship. Public indigna - ion ha I rue very high a;ainst the Malays, but when it was shown how they had been treated, and driven to desperation, they became the oil sets of p .pular sympathy, whist the captain was denounced by all for the erueties with which he hal treated his Malay crew. As they had been literally starved when on board, the populace ran after the Malays, when after each day's trial they ware conveyed leek to prison, chee. lug them, and throwing to them sandwiches, ekes, and tarts.

EARTnQuAIcs rx PICRU.—A severe shock of earthquake has taken place in Pe u, by v‘hich the city of Pairs suffered vevetely. A private letter received by a gentleman dated August 30, It, says :—" At revers o'clock on the , morning of the 201 h the most savers shock Man earthquake ever remembered was fe't here, which had done damage to the amount of 500.000 dole. The shock lasted about a minute and forty-five s conds. ond every hon.e in the town has cuff !red more or less. The paice have had 122 houses taken dawn that were in a dangerous sate, and a number of the churches have ben complete'y destroyed. The damage done is estimated aft. 100,000 dollars. The river of Puira, which had been dry, Euldenly rose, in other places th. ground opened and jets of dark c Toured water were ej c'ed. There is no recurd of any similar phenionena having taken place. At Paita the afLete of the earthquake were less seurely felt. MUNICIPAL ELECTION. works on this side until the Birkenoead works were finished, be should unhesitatingly say that no Government —no House of Commons could stop the natural course of wants on this side of the water. (Hear, hear.) He would, with their permission, pass to another question, which he was sorry to say was not yet disposes of, though it had occupied the attention of the Council ever since, and long before, he (Mr. Graves) had the honour of a seat in it—he alluded to the Water question. he had satisfied himself that the Rivington supply was essential to the sanitary condition and sound improve ment of the poorer classes of the town. (Hear, hear.) He had also satisfied himself that the quantity of water which the town required would be supplied by those works, but he had equally satisfied himself that the quality of the water was not satisfactory to the town of Liverpool in its present state. (Hear, hear.) He would not go back to the circumstances in which the scheme originated, but would at once say that he now advocated the policy of bringing the water to the highest state of perfection that could be done. (Hear, hear.) He had satisfied himself that the water was not unwholesome or injurious to the town; if it were so, nothing on earth nould have made him take the course he had done. He did not, however, think the water satisfactory in its present state—(hear, hear)—but he thought it desirable that time should be allowed for experiments to be made to prove whether it could be made to answer the purpose for which it was intended. (Hear, hear.) He should do the water crimittee the justice of saying that he never witnessed any number of gentlemen take up a subject and discuss it with more honesty or a greater wish to pro. mote the general interests of the public than the Water Committee did in the discussion ef this subject. (Hear, hear.) They had been much maligned, but he hoped the small weed of praise which ho now gave them, would be received as honestly as it was expressed. Mr. Graves then recapitulated the arguments which he has alreidy so fully expressed on the water question. He observed that the old supply only gave 45,000,000 gallons per week, and that when they found Glasgow getting 116,000,000 gallons per week, the town would not rest satisfied with that comparatively small quantity. The question then was, how was the Rivingtou water to be made available for all purposes ? From what he saw of Mr. Duncan's system of filtration, he believed that it was calculated to improve the water, and make it acceptable to the inhabitants ; but if it failed to do so on a large scale, what it unquestionably accomplished on a small one, he would then give his support to the scheme of a second set of pipes as the only means of meeting the requirements and wishes of the town. (Cheers.) And even if Mr. Duncan's system of filtration affected all that was expected of it, he would yet advocate the establish ment of public fountains throughout the town, where the spring water in its purity could be obtained by all for dietetic purposes, and so overcome the strong prejudice which many no doubt would, under any circumstances, entertain against the admission of the Rivington water into their houses. (Cheers.) In conclusion, he declared that he would, at the earliest opportunity, advocate the propriety of widening Park-lane, and hoped, by modera tion on all sides, to sea education extended in every ward of the town. As to the system of billetting soldiers on publicans, he believed it to be most unjust, and that before long it would be entirely discontinued. (Load applause.) Mr. Janes Flolme, who was loudly called on, addressed the meeting. In the course of his observations, he said that the dock accommodation of Liverpool was not sufficient for the shipping that comesdo the port, and whilst he would be very far from stopping the works on the other side of the water, he should yet say that for want of proper accommodation on this side, the Dack Committee were now placed in a complete fix ; and he would ask if it were right that the other side of the water should prevent that increase of dock accommodation which the commerce of this part, demanded? He maintained that the port would have been benefitted had the Dock Committee been permitted to carry out the north-end scheme, and contended that while certain trades would undoubtedly go to Birkenhead, no advantage there would draw from Liverpool any large proportion of its com merce, instancing Great Grimsby and Brooklyn in support of his views. As to the water question, he declared that if Mr. Duncan's system of filtration failed to make the water acceptable to the people of the town, he would support the scheme of a double set of pipes ; and, in con clusion, urged the necessity of improving the approaches to the landing-stage, an improvement which he contended would be of equal benefit to tho merchant, shopkeeper, and tradesmen of the to am. (Cheers.) Mr. Alderman loulinin, also addressed the meeting in eupport of Mr. Graves as a fit representative for the ward, and moved a resolution pledg ng the meeting to again return him to the Council a.iainst all opposition. Mr. John Atkinson seconded the resolution, and in doing so took occasion to observe that, while he had been from the first uttterly opposed to the Pike scheme, he waS yet wilting that every reasona ble experiment should be made to make the water available for the purposes for which it was intended. He feared that it could not be made acceptable or fit for domestic use, and, if it could not, then means should be at once adopted to give back to the inhabitants the sand stone water in its purity. (Hear, hear.) The motion was carried by acclamation. Mr. John Rigby moved the next resolution, which was one of confidence in Mr. Walter P. Jeffreys, as one of the representatives of the ward, and expressive of their usliAnLlual tu, ,t • - -c L 2 - next:retirement. He observed that Mr. J...ffroys, during the whole of his public career had never made an enemy, and then reerring tb the water question, expressed it as his opinion that no process of filtration could render the Rivington water fit for dietetic purposes. ID was happy that they had got an abun lint supply of water, but he maintained that they would be compelled to lay down a double set of pipes, one to supply the inhabitants with the, spring water for domestic use. and the other the Rivington water for manufacturing and sanitary purposes He was not unwilling that eve y experiment should be tried to improve it, but he was convinced that they would all fail. (Hear, bear.) Mr. Murray secon led the motion, which was unanl monsly adopted. IM-. Jeffr , vs acknswledo, el the compliment, and de clared that he had always been and was still au opponent of the Pike scheme. _ SCOTLAND WARD. MEETING OF MR. CRELLIN'S FRIENDS. Last evening a meeting of the electors favourable to the return of Mr. James Crellin, to represent the above ward in the Town Council, after the Ist of Nov. next, was convened at the Castl3 Inn, Scotland-road. The meeting was called for eight o'clock. but it was some short time' after that hour before the electors assembled. On the motion of Captain Crane, seconded by Mr. APls:light, Mr. James Burrow;lies was called upon to pre - side, and after a few briet introductory remarks, in~roduced Mr. Crellin to the electors. That gentleman on entering the room, was most enthu siastically received. Mr. Nutthall then proposed a resolution to the effect that Mr. James Crellin was a fit and proper person to represent the ward in the Town Council. This was seconded by Mr. Rothwell without any obser vat ions. _ _ Mr. Danson, although a non-elector - of the ward, sup ported the resolution, and in doing so gave his opinion as to what a member of the Town Council should be, and contended that the council-room should not be the arena of party politics. He was a Radical, but he supported the Tory Crellin, who had amassed a large fortune by his judgment, and was, therefore, a man well fitted by his position to represent the ward. He contended that it was unjust, and an insult to the ward, that a man should go about the ward making up a book as to the result of the election. But such was the case, to the disgrace of the man who did it. He then said that Mr. Crellin wa s a ma - 1 who would work, and not do as many did, waste their time in talking twaddle, and occupying the valuable spice in the newspapers. It was not those men who dirt the w )rk, but they impeded it, and after making a fuss about the room, and attracted attention, then they, to use a ♦ulgar term, "sloeped off." He assured Mr. Crellin that if he fulfilled his duties faithfully, he would have no sinecure. He denied that he had ever repudiated his party, but had voted, at the last election, as he always would do, for the best WM. He had voted for Mr. Charles Turner, because he thought him the best man by a guinea to a shilling against Mr. Evart. So he should appear sometimes at a Tory meeting and at others at a Radical, as he thought best ; but he did not wish to dictate to - the Ward—all he wished to do was to advise them to select Mr. Crellin as the best man they could select. On the question of the water, he cast all the blame on the Water Committee, for if they had the water properly filtered there would' be found no frogs and tad_ poles in it. (Hear, hear.) It was gross mismanagement on their part, and could not be too much blamed. He said that, although he was in favour of the Pike water, yet he was opposed to the people being poisoned by the filthy stuff that they had been supplied with. He concluded by h'ghly eulogising Mr. Crellin, and recommending him to the electors. The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr. J. Crellin then came forward, and was received with the greatest applause. It having sub&ded, he said, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I quite agree with the remarks that had been made by their worthy and esteemed friend, Mr. Danson, when he said that I was no orator. 1 am not an orator, and never had pretensions to such a position, but at the same time ho had a great respect for orators. But I must say that Mr. Danson had, by his long and eloquent speech, said all that was required and has taken from me what I had to say. I appear before you to-night, as a candidate to represent the Scotland Ward in the municipal body, and, if I am elected, I do assure you that all subjects shall have my careful and serious attention. (Hear, hear.) There are many subjects that will no doubt came before the council during the time that I shall be elected to serve you, and they shall all have my best exert 10113 for the benefit of my fellow.townsmen. Mr. Danson had alluded to the wa , er question ; that, too, shall have my best and serious con sideration, and I will do that which I conceive will be the b , st for the happiness and comfort of the people at large. (Hear, hear) It was tree, that lately we have been robbed of our Town Dues, but I believe that the corpo ratiod made the best bargain they could, and had still in their possession a splendid and magnificent estate, the funds of which would be appropriated for the benefit and improvement of this great town. In Scotland Ward, there was great improvements wanted. The streets wanted being made wider, and a great many of the thoroughfares w inked to he opened ; for it must he recollected that at the time the streets were made, they did not enjoy the great amount of traffic that they then had, for that ward was then the great emporium of trade for the north end of the town. As I said before, I am not a man of many words, but I will perform the duties that may fall upon me to the best of my ability, and will work on all the committees, that I may be placed on, with the greatest assiduity, and wi, bout fear or favour to any party. (Hear.) I agree with Mr. Danson that there is quite a sufficient number of gentlemen in ; the Council at the present time, who make long speeches, but if I am returned to the Council, I shall vote on all q iestions without fearing whom [ may please or displease, and I hope that alter you have returned me, I shall, at the expiration of my term of office, restore that trust to you with the satisfaction that I have fulfilled the (miles impeseo upon me to your saiislacciou, auu to the satisfaction of myself. (Careers .) There was one _ . . . . little anecdote I wish to relate to you.l_onto upon a time there was a convivial club formed, and the members passed their time cheerfully and merrily, imbibing their wine. But unfortunately one of the members became reduced, and had to apply to the others for assistance. The chairman read the poor man's appeal, and then made a most flowing speech pn the reverses of fortune. The other members did the same, and after that one old fellow who had not spoken a word, rose up and said—" And I too feel for our old friend, and here is £5 for him, and do you each do the same. That is the best way for a man to relieve the distress of others. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Cretin then concluded by thanking the meeting for the kindness they had shown him on that occasion, and then resumed his seat amidst the greatest apalauae. On the motion of Mr. Watson, seconded by Mr. Lloyd, a com - nittee was appointed to conduct the election. This was supported by Mr. Waltham and Mr. A. Hahne, each of whom eulogised in warm terms th business habits of Mr. Crellin, and assured the meeti:mg that he was one of the most fit men that cuuld be found to become a mem ber of the lbw❑ Council, as he had been the architect of his own fortune, and had by his energy, perseverance, and business habits raised himself to the proud position he the❑ occupied. Mr. Crellin again came forward, and requested to say a few words. (Hear, hear.) I have been accused by some of the liberal elect-ars with being a rabid Tory. I wish to deny that. A rabid Tory was one who stuck to his party through thick an I through thin—either right or wrung. I never did so, and be hoped ho never should. (Hear, hear.) In ... regard to religion, I have also been Thanks 'were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated• NORTH TOXTETH WARD. A meeting of the Liberal electors and friends of Mr Avison, in this ward, was held at eight o'clock last night in Mrs. Pritchard's public-house, Park place. There was a numerous attendance, among whom were Messrs. Ilenry Fernie, C. E. Rawlins, John Aikin, jua., C. T. Bowring, Enoch Harvey, Owen Williams, Digby Smith. John Wilson, &e. &c. Mr. Avison, on entering the room, was loudly applauded. Mr. Harvey moved that Mr. Fernie take the chair, which was carried by acclamation. The Chairman briefly introduced the business of the evening, explaining that the vacancy in the ward was caused by the retirement of Mr. Bernard Hall. At the urgent reqeest of a largit body of electors, Mr. Avison had consented to place himself in their hands as a carniiiate, and in Mr. Avison he was sure the meeting wou!d recognise all the qaalities of high character, abilities, and experiencs, which were required to make a good repre entative in the Council chamber. (Loud and PITT-STREET WARD. continued applause.) As yet there was no ,opposition A meeting of Mr. S.

He asked the meeting he was still entitled to their confidence ; and he what was the qualification to constioite fitness in the (the chairman), cou'd well guess from the requisition candidate they were to select for 'a seat in the Town which was about to bo presented to Mr. G-aves what Council ? Was the point whether he had certain opinions their answer would be. (Hear, hear.) The requisition upon questions of organic reform—upon universal suf was signed by gentlemen of all shades of polities and ferage—whetlier he ranked himself under the leadership religion, and there was an unanimous desire throughout of Lord Palmerston or Lord John Russell, Lor,d Derby, the Ward to again return him as their ;representative in or Mr. Disraeli ? Was It not rather what his opinions the Council. (Hear, hear, and cheers.). were upon matters of police, of &lance, of sanitary reform. The Secretary (Mr. Rimmer) then presentee Mr. and the other details" and arrangements which went to G•avei with the requisition ttequesting him to again come make up the business of a municipality ? He contended forward as a candidate for the Ward. It was most unani- that political opinions were not primarily the test of a mously signed. man's fitness for a seat as the representative of a ward in Mr. Graves, on rising to address the' meeting, was the Town Council. But, at the same time, human nature warmly received. After thanking them for the heartiness being weak, and it being certain that a man must have of their greetine, he proceeded to say, that when he political opinions of some kind, It was to be fearel that, entered the council, he had 1i tle idea of the amount of indirectly, political bias would manifest itself in municipal work which it had to discharge. It was greater than affairs. If one party became predominant in the Council, anything he had conceived, but he should say, that so far it was to be feared that its influence would be felt in some as his observation went, that work was faithfully fulfilled degree. ole reason why men of certain political on the part of the committees, and it was in the corn- opinions did not desire seats in the Council was, that the mittees that the work of the couneil was done. In the great prize to which, in a municipal career, these men council chamber, he thought they talked very often too looked, as young lawyers did to the woolsack—namely, much—(hear, hear.)—and he was beginning to fear that the mayoralty, was not open to them.

(Hear, allowed himself to be put up before Mr. Holt—he meant hear.) He saw, opposed to Liverpool in that fight, many Mr. James Aspinall Tobin. (Hear, hear.) Therefore, hostile combinations. He saw those combinations based, while he would not make political opinion a primary test to a great extent, on selfishness and interested motives, of fitness, he urged the necessity of endeavouring to obtain which made him more determined than he otherwise a better balance of parties in the council chamber. On would be to throw his small weight in opposition to the this ground he recommended the election of a man holding removal of . the Town Dues.. (Hear, hear.) They had such political opinions as Mr. Avison. (Hear, hear.) He strong influence brought to bear in opposition in connee- also shewed that the services of Mr. Avison would be Lion with the opposite shore of the river. They had valuable upon the Water Q nation.

(Applatu.!.) . . ::-I'votj of tha‘uk . s‘to the Chairman and three hearty cheers for• Mr. Crelliu's success concluded the business of tli meeting. the meeting to, pledge i•self to use every lawful exertion necessary for the purpose of securing that gentleman's return to the Council as one of the representatives of Nor h Toxteth Ward. Mr. Joha Aikin seconded the resolution, and p'inted especially to the valuable services which Mr. Avison ren• dered when in the Council as a memb3r of the Library and Museum Committee. The resolution was carried by acclamation. Mr. Avison then came forward, and was received with loud applause. He said he felt very much obliged to the meeting for their cordial welcome, and far having selected him as a candidate to support liberal principles in that Ward. When the chairman and the_ gentlemen who accompanied him waited upon him (Mr. Arisen) last Saturday, to request him to come forward, he felt some difficulty, because. for many reasons, he should have pre ferred not coming forward as a candidate that year. But when it was represented to him that the ward was in want of a candidate to support liberal principles, he felt that he had but one duty to perform, and that was, to accede to the rcq test. (Hear. hear, and applause.) He could not help thinking, that the time had arrived when the liberal party should make an effort to claim a fair share of rerrsentation. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Hitherto, be was sorry to say, that the conservative party had had it all to themstlyes. (II nr, hear) He thought that was hardly fair, and he though' the liberal party ought to endeavour now as much as they could, to get a fair share of representation. (Hear, hear•) It was usual, upon such occasions as that. for the candidate to-- give some explanation of his sentiments upon the various leading questions which then interested the constituency. He should not depart from that custom, although, per haps, he might be p2rcaitte 1 to say that, having already occupied a seat iu the council for a period six years, the best test of his merit, and of whether he was worthy of their support as a candidate was to be found in his conduct and his votes during the time he had the honour of a seat in the Council. (Hear, hear.) The first question upon which he would touch was the much-vexed question which seemed to be almost interminable, namely, the water question. (Hear, hear.) He thought it was pretty well known to most there that in the early history of the question he took a very active and a very decided part in opposing the Rivington scheme. He felt that it was unnecessary to go to so great a distance as Rivington for an additional supply of water. Having taken an active part in connection with the Booth water works, he knew some little about it, and he was of opinion that a supply of water could be obtained nearer home. But, unfortunately, the Town Council hurried the scheme on. It became arpet scheme, and it was so hurried on that it became impossible to undo it. When he left the Council two years ago the reservoirs were then approaching fast to completion. At that time the water had not been intro duced into Liverpool, but the general expectation of the supporters of the scheme was that they would have an abundant supply of water, and not only that, but an abundant supply of gJocl water. In regard to the abundant supply, he believed the expectation had been quite fulfillel. He believed they had an ample and abundant supply, but he was sorry to say that the hopes had not been fulfilled with regard to the quality. (Hear, hear.) He feared there could be but one opinion through out the town of Liverpool, and that there was one feeling of disappointment in regard to the quality of the water brought from Rivington. (Hear, hear.) It had. to make use of the popular phrase of the day, come into Liverpool in a state of turbidity, which meant, he supposed, in plain English, that it was riot fit for dietetic purposes. (Hear, hear.) But the question remained to be considered, and it was a very serious and important one, what was the best step now to be taken ? They had spent upon the scheme nearly, if not quite, a million of money, and surely after having spent that amount they ought to turn it, if possible, to some good purpose. (Hear, hear.) He quite went along with the Water Committee to this extent, that he thought they ought to make every effort by means of filtration, and of every aid which science could afford, to endeavour, if possible, to remove' the objectionable colour of the water. But he agreed with what was proposed by Mr. John Aikin, that during the progress of the filtration process, th 3 committee ought to "girt) back to the town of Liverpool the old well water. (Cries of " Hear, bear.") He did not sea why they should compel the people of Liverpool to drink the Rivington water, so long as it remained in its present condition. He was surprised, oa reading the reports in the papers that day, of the discussion which took place in the Council, to find that sb extremely moderate and sensible a proposal as that brought forward by Mr Atkin was not at once acceded to by the Cluncit. (Hear, hear.) He could not but feel that the Water Committee did not like to give back to the town the old well water. They were probably afraid that if they once gave the spring water again, the town would not he very willing to give it up. (Hear, hear.) If he should b 3 fortunate enough to be returned as a member of the Council, the watt r question should receive his most serious consideration. If it was decided and made gait° clear that the water could not be filtered—and he was very much afraial that that would be tha result; he did not see what other result there could be (hear, hear)—then he thought there was but one course for all the members of the Council to adopt, and that was, to insist upon having a separate supply. (Hear. hear, and loud applause.) Mr. Avison then referred to the question of the town dues, upon which he observed, that although there could be no difference of opinion in Liverpool upon the injustice of the attack which had been ‘-1-"icaiii ttan7 caring in ruin that so ong as the dues ex's e the Corporation would be always open to attacks, and might be call.d upon year after year to spend large sums in derending them—ha thought the arrangement come to although not such a full m .asare of justice as they ought to have, was one with which they might be fairly an I reasonably satisfied. (Loud cheers.) Inasmuch as it would have the effect of ♦ery seriously diminishing the income of the Corporate estate, it would devolve upon all persons entering the C uncil chamber to exercise the most careful economy in the administration of that estate. (Cheers) He hoped that, now that the Finance Committee would have more time to look after things which had been hitherto rather neglected, such as the Newsham Hluse estate, the property in Dale•street, and other prop. rties• which had been purchased by the Council, they would develops them and make them productive. At the time Mr. Robertson Gladstone moved fora r-t urn of the whole Corporate property, nearly three, years ago, he (Mr. Avison) was one of those who thought' the return would take a good deal of time to prepare, but he did not expect it would have taken the time it had done; and he did think the statement would be more important to be placed in the hands of all Town Coun cillors than was generally considered He believed that many members of the Council, if not most, knew little or nothing of what the property of the corporation con sisted. A statement such as that placed in the hands of every member, would, therefore, be of very great service. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Avison, in conclusion, promised, it' he should be elected, to support all measures which would have a tendency to promote the improvement of the town, and 'all measures connected with the cause of popular education, in which he had always taken a deep interest, and which, while a me bbor of the Library an I Museum Committee of the Council, he had always laboured to serve. Raving again thanked the meeting, Mr. Avison resumed his sera amid loud and.general applause. An Elector (Mr. James Davis) complained of the enormous salary paid to some of the corporate officials, and especially of the increase in the , Town-clerk's salary, and the sum of £1,003 lately given to him for only doing , what should be considered his duty. He asked Mr: Avison's opinion upo.t those suejects• Mr. Avison said he agreed, in to n-ral, that, in past times, there had been too much increasing of salaries. In regard to the Town-clerk's salary, he was one of the very few members of the council who voted against the increase. (Hear, hear ) Mr. D;gby Smith there proposed a resolution, naming a committee to conduct the election of Mr. Avison. Mr. John Wilson seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation Mr. C T. Bowring. who was introdUced to the meeting by the Chairman and by Mr. William:, as the candidate for St. Peter's Ward, and was loadly applauded • came forward, and in a few words proposed a 'tote of thanks to the Chairman. Mr. Harvey seconded the resolution, which was enthusiastically curried. Time Chairman having briefly acknowledged the compli ment, the proceedings terminated. THE LITE TRAGEDY AT BRA.MIIA.T.L.
