DEPOSIT, Sixpence per Share, being the utmost amount allowed by Act of Parliament. TRUSTEES. SIR THOMAS BRANCKER, WILLIAM EARLE, ESQ. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE, ESQ. JAMES AIKIN, ESQ. BANKERS. THE ROYAL BANK OF LIVERPOOL. GENERAL Complaint has long been made of the unwholesome quality of the Bread and Flour with which the Public in this town is supplied, and of the very high prices at which it is sold, the Bread being at the present moment sold 30 per cent higher here than at Birmingham. Much attention has, consequently, been directed to the re medy for those: evils and vigorous efforts have been made by one of the Weekly Journals to obtain from the trade better treatment for the public,but, as yet, with little practical effect it is therefore proposed to establish in this town a Joint Stock Association of the consumers of Flour and Bread, for the pur pose of supplying the public with a good wholesome article at a moderate price, Several of these Associations are in existence in different parts of the country, with advantage both to the shareholders and to the public at large. At Birmingham there are five companies, of moderate capital, one of which (the Old Union Mill) has been established about fifty years, the original shares of XI being now worth from .t 6to -t 7 ; and so exten sive is their trade, that they now dispose of, weekly, five hun dred sacks of flour made into bread, and two hundred sacks for general purposes. In addition to this company paying a hand some dividend to the shareholders, they are enabled at the present time to render the usual quartern loaf (41b. 40z.) for lid, to the consumer. It is intended by the proposed Company to erect Mills and a Bakery, for the purpose of grinding corn and supplying the public with good wholesome bread on the lowest possible terms. A respectable Committee of Management has already been formed, and it is proposed to invest ,the property of the Com pany in the names of five unexceptionable trustees. As it is desirdus to extend the number of shareholders, no person will be permitted to hold more than twenty shares. A considerable number of shares having been already taken up, persoils desirous of becoming shareholders should make early application, by letter, to Messrs. AVISON and PRITT, Solicitors, Cook-street, Liverpool. FORM OF APPLICATION._ _ _ 'To the Provisional Committee of the Liverpool Union Mill and Bread Company.

The accommodation proposed to be thus given has long been desired, but the difficulty of obtaining a convenient entrance into Liverpool has until lately proved an insurmountable ob , stacle. This difficulty the Liverpool and Bury Railway, now in course of construction, affords the means of overcoming, it being proposed by the present scheme to make use of that line for nearly a mile and a half out of Liverpool, and thence pro ceed, by way of Bootle, Seaforth , Waterloo, Crosby, and along the coast, through Formby, to Southport, affording to those places and the adjacent farm districts a cheap and speedy means of communication with Liverpool. On the other hand, the benefits to the over-crowded population of Liverpool in a sanitory point of view, by giving ready access to the rapidly increasing Bathing Places along the coast, the district of Cros by, and the much-frequented and salubrious watering place of Southport, as well as throwing open the intermediate country for the purposes of Villas and Residences, cannot well be over estimated. The undertaking is promoted by the principal Landowners anti other parties locally interested. • The Line is about sixteen miles in length, and, being nearly level, is entirely free from engineering difficulties. A consi derable part of the land between Crosby and Southport, over _ which it will pass, has already been given by the landowners, • and the cost of construction will be unusually small. The liability of each Shareholder will he restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of his subscription, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at £4 per cent. on all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the Line. Applications for Shares may be made, in the subjoined form, en or before the 6th of November next, to the Solicitors, or to any of the following Sharebrokers :—Messrs. D. and J. B. NEILSON, or Messrs. ASPINALL and HUGHES, Liverpool ; ROBERT M'EWEN, Esq., Manchester; or to Messrs. HILL, FAwcorr, and HILL, 29, Threadneedle street, London. In the allotment of shares, a preference will be given to par ties having local interest, and a reserve will be made for Land owners. Liverpool, October, 1846. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

The Committee have also to announce that Mr. Catherwood, the Engineer of the Company, after having carefully completed the necessary surveys in British Guiana, has returned to this country, and has made and deposited with them a most satis factory Report, accompanied by plans and sections, which have been sanctioned and confirmed by Mr. Locke, their Consulting Engineer. The Committee are highly gratified in being able to add, that after an attentive examination of Mr. Catherwood's Report, his estimates and calculations, they have full confidence that the Railway will be constructed at a cost more than 30 per cent. below the amount originally contemplated, whilst there are good grounds for believing that the traffic upon the line will far exceed previous anticipations, and of course increase ma terially the exspective returns upon the capital invested.

Sin,—l have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might have been to this (lay confined to my bed. After a close appli cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis appear ; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave Loodon. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedi ent servant, D. W. STONE. 4. Paternoster-rc-e. "SlR,—Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr. Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was compelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his committing any violence, and whose case was considered en tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and being satisfied of the truth of my information, en c o uraged me to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam very happy in being able to add my testimony o f the benefit I derived : after a few days' application the use of my limbs are perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business, nd, making an allowance for my age, never was better i n my life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial, feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the us e o f the i r limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine. Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, b ut to i hose who are deprived, none feels t so severely as the trades. man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of busines s , and brings ruin on families.

CONCERT HALL, LORD NELSON.STREET.—Last night Mr. Dempster (from America) appeared at this place of amusement, and gave great delight to his audience. He introduced his songs by historical reminiscences, highly interesting, and his sineing throughout was most spirited and pathetic. It would be injustice to Mr. Dempster not to state, that we had not (owing to the municipal election) an opportunity of hearing the first songs of the evening; but judging from those which we did hear, we have no hesitation in expressing our opinion that Mr. Dempster is a gentleman of high taste and talent as a musician. He possesses vocal powers of a high order, and dashes into his performances (including his own music) with a degree of pathos which is rarely attainable. We have not space to enumerate the several songs ; but we were much struck by many of them, and especially " The Blind Boy," and the "Emerald Isle." Mr. Dempster is a splendid pianist, and wants no orchestra to help him out. He is equally at home in every department of melody, and the music is exclusively his own. " I'm alone" was beautifully and pathetically sung. The last piece, repre senting the decline and death of a girl, was painfully affecting. We are glad to find that Mr. Dempster will again make his appearance at the same place to-morrow evening. The old Scottish ballad of " Tak per auld cloak aboot ye" was admirable, and will no doubt be called for again. BOY'S ART UNION. --The tickets are now being issued for this excellent distribution of works of art; and it is gratifying to find that a t,wnsman purchased during the past week from Mr. J. R. Isaacs, the appointed agent, a ticket, which tw ned out to be the celebrated prize Car toon, " The First Trial by Jury," to which government as an acknowledgement of its merit, awarded a prize of 300 guineas. It was drawn by " Cope," R.A., and is valued at £l5O. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—The principal performer at this theatre during the past week was Mr. Charles Kemble Mason, nephew of the celebrated Kemble. His acting is unquestionably the most extraordinary we ever witnessed. Mr. Mason has studied in a school perfectly new. He is not a copyist of the good or bad qualities either of the living or the dead, but in action, manner. and dress is quite original. It is said he intends to make his appear. ance in London, and there, as the appetite for novelty is insatiable, it is not improbable that he may at least create a sensation. The new ballet of " Christine" and the Ethiopian Delineators have been the other attractions during the week. TRADE WITH THE EAST.—By the comparative state ment of British tonnage entered outwards and inwards to and from India, in the first nine months of this year, as made up by Mr. Spikeman, it appears that the out ward entries from London were 182,762 tons, against 174,684 in 1845, and from Liverpool 87,854 tons, against 101,282 in 1845 ; the entries inwards to London were 210,228 tons, against 203,312 in 1845, and to Liverpool 70,416 tons, against 65,071 in 1845. It further appears, that the outward entries to China this year were,—from London 8,045 tons, and from Liverpool 16,655, while the entries inwards were 22,283 tons into London, and 14,775 into Liverpool. The total entries outwards to India, from ports in Great Britain, were 324,637 tons in 1846, end 322,988 in 18-15, and the total entries inwards 296,962 tons in 1846, and 277,791 in 1845. • t the teak,and c o A. MosicAL MATCH . — Haydn ch a ll enge d M ozar t to compose e c w t ed h which h former u su ld pp n e o r t play at t s i ght. a piece Mozartof m a u c si pc champagne was to be the forfeit. In a few minutes a piece of music was produced, and handed to Haydn, with a bantering boast from Mozart, " There, sir, is a compo sition which you cannot play and I can." Haydn sat down to the instrument, surprised at the simylicity of the music that was to puzzle him ; but when be bad got half way through it he suddenly stopped, saying, " How's this Mozart? how's this? You've got tray bands stretched out to the ends of the pitinia, and yet there's a middle key to be touched ? Nobody can play such music as this. " Mozart, laughing at Haydn's perplexity and anger, took the abandoned seat, and began. Running through the easy passages, he came to the difficulty which his friend found insuperable; and, bobbing his head, struck his key with his very long nose, and was at the end of the composition in a trice. Haydn, with whom such a feat was a physical impossibility, *burst into a roar of laugh ter, and confessed that nature bad endowed Mozart with a capacity for music which he (Haydn) bad never before discovered. and to which he could lay no claim. The for feit was cheerfully paid. • THE LATE DUKE OF RICHMOND.—in the forthcoming work by Sir F. B. Head, entitled " The Emigrant," the hon. bart. relates some deeply interesting circumstances connected with the melancholy death of the Duke of Rich mond, in 1819, from the effects of hydrophobia. It is evident, from what is here stated, that be himself was aware of, but endeavoured studiously to conceal from those who were around him, the dreadful nature of his malady, and for several days he succeeded, until, at last, one of his suite exclaimed, " By Heavens. gentlemen, the Duk e o f Richmond has the hydrophobia!" Pe was on his return from Niagara to Quebec, when the fatal symptoms first disclosed themselves; and died in a tent by the road side, calm and resigned, expressing to those around him, "that his greatest earthly consolation was that his title and name would be inherited by a son of whose character he de. clared be entertained the highest opinion and confidence." While the fatal secret was, as it were, in his own keeping, be remarked to one of his party, " You know, am in general not afraid of a glass of wine, yet you will see with what difficulty I shall drink it." During dinner the Puke asked this officer to take wine with him, and it was evident that from some unaccountable reason it required the utmost resolution and effort on his part to bring the glass to his lips. Early next morning be was found calmly finishing a letter to a member of his family, which be sealed and then delivered to Colonel —, with a de. sire that it might be delivered at Montreal, a request at the time utterly incomprehensible. Colonel ---, on re ceiving t his letter, naturally enough observed, that they °honld all proceed there together; on w hicli the Duke mildly but firmly observed, " /t is no use deceiving von, I shall saver go down there alive." THE, LIVERPOOL STANDARD. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION. Prior to giving any details of the doings yesterday, pro bably one or two reminiscences of previous contests, may be interesting, more especially as the subject is of course the " talk" of the day ; and perhaps the first thing ne cesiary will be to give the state of the poll in the wards which were contested last year or the year before, as at the last election opposition was only offered in six wards, viz., St. Paul'e, Pitt-street, Rodney-street, Lime-street, West Derby, and North Toxteth. The following was last year the state of the poll at the close in those wards, and in 1844 in the remaining wards : Wards. Majority. Scotland Tames Brancker (a) ..... 217 • Isaac Holmes (c).... St. Paul's .. Eyre Evans (a).. .... ... 171 J. C. Thompson (c)..... 133 38 St. Peter's R. S. Henderson (c) .... 269 Thos. Bolton (a).... *Rodney-street.. J. N. Wood (c) R. E. Harvey (a) Lime-street..... Vincent Higgins (a) Robert Rigby (c) . St. Anne's James Parker (c)....... 231 William Earle (a) West Derby .... James Plumpton (c) James Mellor (a). North Torteth .. Thomas Lloyd (a) John Sheppard (c) South Toxteth .. R. L. Jones (c) R. V. Yates (a) * For Rodney-street Ward the noting at the last election was equal, and the Alderman and Assessors declared Mr. J. N. Wood duly elected. Last year ten Conservatives and six Radicals were re turned to the Council, seven Conservatives and three Radicals being unopposed ; a very gratifying state of things certainly, though not so cheering as were the re sults of previous years. In 1844, thirteen Conservatives were returned ; in 1843, twelve ; in 1842, thirteen ; in 1841, again thirteen; and in 1840, twelve; and on each of those occasions, except last year, the successful Radi cal members were returned by majorities miserably small, as compared with the majorities in those wards which returned Conservatives. It is the more necessary to no tice the majorities in the successful Radical wards at the last election, viz. 38, 72, and 64, as we have no doubt that these unusually large numbers, combined with the known confusion into which the Conservative ranks have been thrown by recent events, have served to inspire our opponents with fresh courage, and induced them to en gage in a contest in districts where otherwise they would not have ventured to show their faces. They did not, however, with all their advant-iges, accomplish yesterday more than we anticipated ; and to shew that their expec tations were raised to an extraordinary pitch, we need only refer to the fact that this year, as far as they were concerned, they only permitted (notwithstanding all their sills , boasts of " liberality") two wards to be unopposed, whilst last year seven Conservatives, and in 1841 six Conservatives, were returned without the slightest oppo sition. There must, therefore, have been .some reason for this increase in their laborious exertions ; and it is the more remarkable that this factious conduct has taken place, when their sweet mouths have been incessantly pouring out the honeyed words, " Oh, give up political distinctions—let party strifes be buried—let not religious differences be alluded to." But, gentlemen, has your conduct been at all assimilated to your professions ?—or, rather, has it not given the lie in the plainest manner to every one of them ? " Thou that sayest another should not steal - , dolt thou steal?" Last year, the following Conservative gentlemen were returned without opposition :—Mr. F. Shand, for Ever ton ; Mr. Houghton, for Scotland ; Mr. Littledale, for Exchange ; Mr. Stewart, for St. Peter's ; Mr. Heade, for Abercamby ; Mr. Royden, for Great George ; and Mr. Lace, for South Toxteth. No opposition was offered to Mr. Rathbone, for Vauxhall; to Mr. Hugh llornby, for Castle-street; or to Mr. Earle, for St. Anne's. In 1844 Mr. Shaw was returned unopposed for Everton, Mr. Middleton for Exchange, Mr. Aspinall for Pitt-street, Mr. G. G. Hornby for Great George, Mr. Procter for Abercromby. and Mr. Leigh for West Derby. Now with these " great facts " before us, we solicit a reply from some one of our Radical contemporaries, to the fol lowing question :—" How does it happen that, with all your professions of impartiality, and your tormentingly reiterated desires that all political considerations should be put aside, you have rushed this year into a contest in every ward, except two, (which are. left uncontested merely because opposition is avowedly hopeless,) and have endeavoured to eject, from their seats in the Coun cil, gentlemen whom you have yourselves confessed to be, in every respect which i s in your opinion at all essential, well qualified to discharge the duties which they have been called upon by the electors to perform ?" Whatever excuse you may offer for trying to retain your old mem bers, or for opposing one or two gentlemen whom you may deem, however erroneously, strong political parti sans, we defy you to justify, on your own principles, your conduct in such wards as Everton , Exchange, Rod ney-street, or Abercromby. It is well, however, that we have not been deceived by your specious professions, as the following report of yesterday's proceedings abundantly testifies.

Radical unopposed. J. A. Tinne, for St. Peter's. I J. Aikin, for Castle-street. G. H. Lawrence, W. Derby. There have been, therefore, ten Conservatives returned this year to the Council, and four Radicals. Anticipating that Scotland Ward and South Toxteth Ward will to-day return two " good na..n and true," the Conservatives will hold the same numerical position which they did prior to the election. Twelve Conservatives retired, and twelve will have been returned,—though their position in the wards will be slightly changed. In Scotland, Vauxhall, and St. Anne's, a Conservative replaced a Radical ; whilst in St. Paul's, Lime-s . reet, and North Toxteth, it was vice versa. There were 4299 votes given in the aggregate, of which the Conservatives polled 2246, and the Radicals 2053, —giving a majority of 193 to the Conservatives. The following is a list of the Town Council as now constituted. The names printed in italics are those of new members : Years to serve, No. I.—EVERTON WARD.

The state of parties in the government of our munici pality is now, therefore, (allowing for Scotland and South Toxteth, as we have represented.) as follows :—Conser vatives—Aldermen 16, Councillors 34; total, 50. Radi cals—Councillors 14. Conservative majority, 36. Next year. Aldermen Houghton, Griffith, J. H. Tur ner. Crook, Nicol, Brarnley-Moore, Molyneux, and Chil ton, will retire—their period of service (six years) having then expired ; but our readers will perceive at a glance that there is not the remotest probability of any one of these gentlemen being displaced by a Radical, even al lowing that party the utmost possible success at the next election. We are not, therefore, likely to be under Ra dical domination for many years to come, let the exertions of our opponents be what they may; but the Conserva tives must leave no stone unturned, not merely to " hold their own," but to improve their numerical position. We now give a detail of what took place in the various wards. EVFRTON WARD. This ward was stronzly contested, but the Conservative candidate obtained a large majority at the commence ment, which he maintained during the day. At two o'clock the numbers were, — For Mr. Atherton For Mr. Walthew Msjority for the former . ... 32 In half an hour more the Conservative candicl4te had in creased his majority to 34. There was considerable, but good humoured, :excitement at and about the polling place, (in Great Homer-street,) during the day, the com mittee-rooms of the respective candidates being "just opposite." The number of cabs, &c., employed towards the close was great, and each party did their best, to all appearance, to return their favourite rnan,--the conserva tive, however, distancing his opponent by odds. At the close the numbers were For Mr. Atherton Fur Mr. \Valthew Majority for former.. Mr. Shand was present in Mr. Atherton's Committee• room towards the finale, but deeming it unnr cessary to record his vote in that quarter, drove off before the hour of closing, to another ward to assist a conservative more in need of his suffrage. V4UXIIALL WARD. The contest in this ward was comparatively animated, Mr. Morris taking the lead (against Mr. Chalmer) from the beginning, and keeping it up to the close. At ten o'clock, an hour after the opening, the numbers who had voted stood—for Mr. Morris 43, and for Mr. Chalmer only 22. This start was not, however, quite maintained in equal numerical proportion throughout. At one o'clock the votes were—for Mr. Morris 82, and for Mr. Chalmer 49. At three o'clock Mr. Morris had obtained 104 votes, and Mr. Cha!mer 70, being a ma jority of 34 for the Conservative. There was considerable excitement towards the close, and cars and coaches were flying about in all directions—on the one side to redeem losses, and on the other to render the victory doubly se cure. At a quarter before four o'clock, the votes were — for Mr. Morris 110, and for Mr. Chalmer 78 ; being a majority for the former of 32. At the close (four o'clock) the members were— Mr. Morris -..... Mr. Chalmer .... Majority for the former.... In this ward not a single duplicate voter was called out of Scotland Ward, for which the election, owing to the absence of the returning alderman, will take place this day, when the services of all who can vote in that ward will be in requisition to secure the return of the candidate of the right water—Mr. James Holme. Mr. Thomas Littledale, junior, voted in Vauxhall Ward in favour of the returned tnemb. , r. Immediately after the election, Mr. Morris met a very crowded body of the electors at his committee-room, and addressed them in feeling and appropriate terms ; but the crush and the enthusiastic cheers of the electors were such that it was impossible for our reporter to take any notes of the proceedings. Mr. Morris purposes to meet his friends hereafter, and we shall endeavour then to do him justice. SAINT PAUL'S WARD. We are sorry Mr. Briscoe was not brought forward earlier, as he would evidently have been successful had he been so. Notwithstanding the adv .ntages which his op ponent had. he could only secure a compratively small majority. The standing which Mr. Briscoe has acquired, as one of the most respectable and extensive tradesmen in the ward, would have won his return, had the an nouncement of his intention to seek the suffrages of the electors been made a little earlier than the morning of the election. We hope another time the Conservative committee will be more on the alert. Mr. Hill gained this ward in 1814, by a majority of 33, in a contest with Mr. Stitt, the gentleman who has now kieen successful; and we see no reason why a similar result may not be witnessed again. Let the register be leaked after. EXCHANGE WARD. It is impos=ihle to imagine any justifiable reason for the opposition to Mr. Tyrer in this ward. The opinions of the voters has been pointedly expressed more than once, and Mr. Tyrer's respectable standing and commercial information ought to have secured him from the annoy ance of such a well-known fruitless contest. Mr. Tyrer's majority continued to increase from the first hour, until, at last, it reached the very gratifying number of 58. Shortly after four o'clock, the Committee-room in Chapel-street, was crowded with Mr. Tyrer's friends, anxious to hear the final result, although from the decided lead Mr. T. had kept throughout the day, there was little doubt as to the place that gentleman would occupy at the close of the poll. Mr. Tyrer, on entering the room, was received by loud and continued cheering, which having subsided, Mr. T. rose and said :—Gentlemen, I can assure you that I feel the honour you have bestowed in again returning me to the Town Council. It proves that the principles I profess meet your approval. I rejoice in the triumph of those principles more than in any personal succe-..5. I shall continue to forward the inte rests of tl•e town. The greatest portion of my business is confined to Liverpool, and to Liverpool I will confine myself. Ycu already know what my principles are. lam not like ray opponent, saying that there is no political question connected with this election. I combine the school question with several others. I assure you, gentlemen, it is not all play in the Town Council; and it really was my wish to have retired at the appointed time. but my friends persuaded me to again come forward. Your kindness will, however, compensate me. I have pleasure in stating that the numbers at the close of the poll were . 129 for my opponent, and 187 for myself. (Cheers.) It is highly gratifying, and I could hardly have expected so great a majority, which is probably .as large as will be obtained in any other ward. This mojority, I am in formed, might have been 90 or 100, but our worthy secre tary, knowing the ward was safe, prefer►ed sending those parties who had duplicate votes to other wards, and he was sure that that plan would be considered the best, inasmuch as it might be the means of securing them, which was of more importance than swelling his already large majority. (Loud cheers.) He begged to thank Mr. Jackson for the able manner in which he had performed the duties of his arduous office, and he was sure the thanks of all present were due to him. (Cheers.) Mr. JACKSON, secretary of the Conservative Com mittee, then rose and said, that, as Mr. Tyrer had ob served, it was not all play in the Council, 'neither was it all play in being secretary for an election committee. If principles, said Mr. Jackson, are worth preserving, they are worth contending for, but you cannot enjoy political privileges without, in some degree, sacrificing domestic comfort. I feel that I have only done as any Englishman who values his political privileges ought to do. I must say that on this occasion the old friends of our cause have been to a man staunch and true, in spite of the threats and intimidation of the other party. Mr. J. eulogised the conduct of Mr. Thomas Littledale, jun., and con cluded by proposing three cheers for that gentleman, which was heartily responded to. CASTLE-STREET WARD. The Conservatives have, for several years, declined to offer any opposition to their opponents in this ward. thereby setting an example of forbearance which the Radi cals are slow to imitate. Mr. Aikin was again returned yesterday, and we are most happy to see this gentleman once more in the Council. He and the other two repre sentatives for the ward, Mr. Hugh Hornby and Mr. John Holmes, are indisputably most respectable specimens of their political party. SAINT PETER'S WARD. It is, perhaps, the highest compliment that can be paid to Mr. Tinne, and equally honourable to himself and the electors of the ward, to state that not the slightest oppo sition was offered to his return. This gratifying result is due, without reference to party feelings, to the just esti mation in which his private character, and his unwearied exertions for the interests of the town, are held by the burgesses at large, especially as an ardent advocate of all measures tending to promote the health of the town, and as an active and intelligent member of the Highway Board. PITT-STREET WARD. The contest in this ward we looked upon from the first as a hopeless effort of Whig-Radical spleen. The candi date (Mr. George Holt) opposing Mr. Toulmin, was not one in whose favour the probabilities were very great. On more occasions than one he has appealed to constitu encies in Liverpool, and been defeated. In 1E:43 he was left by Mr. Sands in a minority of 89, in Exchange Ward. In 1844 North Toxteth rejected him by a majority of 60. Why Radicalism will thus bring forward, year after year, ite rejected candidates, it is difficult to conceive. We should certainly, wars our case that of Mr. Holt, feel that we had beenEscurvily used by our party:in being selected so frequently for a losing game. The polling during the whole of the day was in favour of the winning candidate, Mr. Holt never having a shadow of a chance, and Mr. Toulmin being ultimately returned by a majo rity °fit:36.lon 1843 his majority was 33 over Mr. Robert Benn. i7.7,..4-: GREAT GEORGE WARD. Mr. Joseph Cooper was opposed in this ward by Mr. W. P. Freme—of course a purely factious opposition, for not an individual in the ward ever expected that the Ra dical had a chance against an opponent so universally re spected by all parties. The fight was a winning one throughout on the part of Mr. Cooper, and was only enlivened by a vain effort made by that gentleman, at a late hour, to assist his opponent by voting for him. We are not aware that Mr. Freme returned the:compliment. _ ROD NEY - STREET WARD. _ This ward has this year been the scene of a contest un precedented for the bitterness of animosity with which it has been carried on by a clique of the professing liberals. It is one of the dark spots of these annual elections, that out of trifling causes, or, more frequently, out of no cause at all, they raise up personal passions and preju dices, which are a disgrace to the town, and which unhap pily endure long after the occasion of them bag passed away. Mr. Samuel flohne, the Conservative candidate for the ward, has keenly experienced these passions and prejudices; and, as may be expected from his eminent and unsullied character, he has passed through an ordeal, most trying to the temper, with increased reputation : and we hope, now that the battle has been fought, and the victory w, n, that dissension and misrepresentation will quickly pass away. But although this is our hearty desire, we must advert to some facts in order to enable our readers to appreciate the victory that Mr. Holme has won. The Whigs, to do them justice, exhibited gteat tact in their selection of his opponent. Early last month, they induced Mr. Thomas Booth, in an evil hour for him, to consent to be put in nomination ; and with two such men it was expected the contest would be exceedingly close. Some Conserva'ives gave way to what may be termed municipal despair, be cause the registration had tieen so grossly neglected that, on the examination of the list there appeared to be a clear majority of forty Whig votes. This feeling was not at all consoled by the most significant fact that the numbers at the contest last year between Mr. J. N. Wood and Mr. Harvey were equal, and that upon the decease of the late Mr. Pemberton, a few months since, Mr. Robertson, a Whig, and perhaps something more, was returned without opposition. The ward, in fact, was decidedly Liberal in aspect, with the disadvantage of a defective registration, and a positive majority of at least forty. These are the circumstances under which Mr. Holme was invited to be come a candidate, and under which he accepted the invi tation and won. Like another Caesar he may say, " Veni vidi vici." In addition to these adverse circumstances, Mr. Holine, from day to day, and week to week, has been assailed, both by Radical and Tory papers, with the most inge nious and persevering misrepresentation. He has been positively hunted by anonymous slanderers. All his contracts, whether with the Corporation or otherwise, have been made evidence against him ; and bricks have been levelled against brains, because the calumniators fo'snd it easier to find one commodity than the other. Poetry—and such poetry—was often called in aid, and much prose run mad has been perpetrated to deceive the Electors. It is not our business to notice these miserable shifts of a despairing faction. We can only testify to the fact, that instead of deceiving the Electors, they only disgusted them ; and that happily victory sided with truth and justice. The polling booth in Renshaw-street was exactly op posite Mr. Holme's house; and on the east side were the committee rooms of the two candidates, in most neighbourly conjunction —simificant of the private friend. ship between them.' I❑ the language of the turf, Mr. Hahne took the lead, was never headed, and won in a canter. To give the poll hourly would be a waste of space; and we shall, therefore, content ourselves with naming the foal result at four o'clock : For Mr. Holme For Mr. Booth.. Majority for Mr. Holme.. 77 Or nearly double the supposed liberal majority. We cannot conceive anything more gratifying than this re sult must be to Mr. Hokne, end its announcement eli cited long, loud, and general cheering. At the dose of the poll, Mr. Holme and a number of his Committee crossed over the way, and from the window of his drawing-room, he addressed a vast crowd, which had assembled in the street. On making his appearance he was received with many hearty cheers ; which having ceased, he epoke as fo!lows : —Gentlemen, I should, indeed, be ungrateful if I did not return to you my most heartfelt ti anks, for the triumphant position in which you have placed me this day. (Hear, hear.) This position is the more gratifying to my f ee li ngs, b ecause i t has been a triumph gained over a gentleman for whom I have the greatest regard ; and even if I had been defeated, it would have been some consolation to me that I had been defeated by such a man as Mr. Booth. (Hear, hear.) I beg, however, to say that I attribute very much of the victo r y w hi c h h as been 'achieved this day to the vials of abuse which have been so unsparingly heaped upon my head,—(hear, and applause)—by men who had not the manliness, and who dared not, when I gave them the challenge, to come forward before my face. (Cheers.) Therefore I treat, as I ever will treat, every anonymous slanderer, who has not the courage to say to a man's face what he insinuates behind his back —with perfect contempt. (Hear.) In prose and in poetry, have I been figuring upon the walls ; and I now beg to say, that the poet who has done tee the honour to placard me through the town during the last few weeks. may go, as soon as he pleases, and exercise his poetical skill by writing a parody upon the words : " Oh, no, we never mention him, reaction.(Cheers 31 laughter.) h w t e h r a . t ) His name is never heard." appealthrollg hothethirlivefeslhloawve townsmenact hG t eeedntresultlehonestly Gentlemen, as s s dlhraeklwhen men, independently,ihme appealede n r u w l result to o o f you. Mark, I say, what has been the result. I state it now publicly that I did not put myself forward. I was anxious to have remained. as I have for some years, in private life. B u t a requ i s i t i on, numerously and respect ably signed, was presented to me ; an d I have ever advo cated the principle, and I always shall, that no man has a right to live exclusively for his own benefit; hut that it is his bounden duty to do as much good to his fellow creatures as he possibly can. (Hear.) I ask what has been the result? Why, that a number of tradesmen, honest independent tradesmen, men wielding power, and wielding it well, have been indignant at the course which has been adopted be—not a number of the respectable Whigs of this ward, but by a small, and insignificant, and contemptible clique, whom I set at defiance. (Cheers.) The result has also been that my brother James has been brought out for Scotland Ward, who, probably, would not have become a candidate at all had it not been for this un mitigated abuse. Thus a just retribution, and a just reaction takes place when men depart from the principle of rectitude, and do that which is mean and despicable. Let me further say, although yo u may accuse me o f i partiality, that f . the electors o f S co tl an d W ar d return my brother, and ne makes half as good a Councillor as he has been a brother, an exemplary man in every rela tion of life, and an honest and straightforward tradesman, they will to-morrow make a choice that will be a benefit to the inhabitants at large. (Cheers.) Some of you will have observed a paragraph in the Albion this morning, to the effect that every vote given to my brother and myself will be thrown away. I beg to contradict that statement. (Hear, hear.) When last in the Coun cl, for the purpose of recognizing a salutary prin ciple, but contrary to the opinion of the Town-clerk, so far as the law was concerned ; first, in conformity with it so far as the spirit of the act was concerned, I paid the fine. Though I bad nothing to do with the Corpora tion, yet, for the purpose of keeping myself clear and in dependent, I did see fit to resign my seat in the Council. You have called upon me now : it was no act of mine that I came forward ; and in coming forward, I took that which I think was the most straightforward course. I called a public meeting of the electcrs of Rodney-street Ward, as the jury to whom I appealed. (Hear.) They have responded to the appeal ; they have pronounced their opinion ; and I shall now go to the Town Council inde pendent, unfettered, and ss anxious as any man can be to forward the best interests of Liverpool. (Cheers.) lam sure, gentlemen, that all of you, whetherwither you agree with in political opinion or not, will coincide with me in this, that we should have no small measures for a port like Liverpool. The extent of our commerce requires ex tended accommodation. The state of many of o ur streets —what is popularly called the sanatory condition of the town—requires great and vigilant attention; and that at tention I shall be most happy to bestow. It is to me a mark of great gratification, that I have had the cordial sup port of so many of my fellow-tradesmen. I see faces among you with whom for years I have been in the habit of hold ing friendly, nay, affectionate intercourse. It is indt ed a source of rejoicing to me, that my conduct has met with their approval, for I have never been the man to grind them down in their prices, but, on the contrary, always to act upon the principle of " live, and let live." (Hear.) These principles have gained me yeur support, and I hope they will enable rr..e to preserve it. But, whilst I say that, I will never be one to endeavour to force a great num ber of tradesmen into the Council, so as to take entire possession of it, because I wish to see ourselves repre sented by men of all descriptions ; and at the same time I will never be one to assent to the opinion that because a man is a tradesman be is to be ex cluded from the Council ;—(cheers)—for if there is any one thing more 'offensive to me than ancther, it is the aristocratic feeling of some of those who call themselves republicans and levellers. (Cheers.) I fear lam unable to make myself audible to all of you. (Cries of "Go on, go on.") lam suffering from a severe cold and I must conclude by again thanking you for the way in which you have so triumphantly returned me as your representative. I beg you to accept those thanks from the very ground of my heart. And, now—whether a man has been opposed to me or not, I beg to say that no political or personal feel ing on my part shall influence my conduct in the Town Council ; I will endeavour, to the best of my power, to carry out those measures which are for the benefit of the inhabitants at large. (Chee rs .) Th ere i s, however, one thing I wish to mention before I conclude. A paragraph appeared in the Journal of Saturday last , stating that I had lent myself to some small clique to exclude Mr. George Hall Lawrence from the mayor alty. It was scarcely honourable, I think, to say that upon the eve of th e e l ect i on, (hear) for although the editor said lie did not believe any such thing, he did not hesitate to publish the insinuation; (Hear, hear.) I beg t . o state distinctly, as I h ave a l rea d y i n a l e tt er to the Alb i on, that the statement is entirely a febrication — a fabrication fro if m beginnin g t o en d. A n d I state now, thus publicly , that i assiduity and attention to business, fren!lemauly feeling, . and if being a member. of an old. Liverpool family, are any passports to the mayorality. I do not think the (roatiatied on the eighth page.)
