Mr. John Shimmin has retired from the contest in Vaux
hall Ward, and Mr. Thomas Chalmer, surgeon, is at present
the only candidate. In West Derby Ward, Mr. Arthur Hen-
derson, the retiring member, is again a candidate. A requisi-
tion having been presented to Mr. John Aikin, that gentle--
man has consented to place his services at the disposal of
the electors. A number of the admirers of Mr. Eyre Evans
had expressed a desire to contest North Toxteth Ward on his-
behalf, but he has declined to be placed in nomination

NORTH AND SOUTH TOXTETH WARDS.
A numerous meeting of the Radical electors of these wards
was held last night, at the house of Mr. M'Phillimore, in
Park-place ; Henry Penile, Esq., in the chair.

Mr. WILSON proposed, and Mr. THOMAS EVANS seconded
the nomination of William Evans, Esq., as a fit and proper
candidate for South Toxteth Ward. There was a feeling that
the timber trade had exercised a kind of dictation with refer-
ence to the representation of these wards, and the object of
the meeting was to•exercise an independent choice. The reso-
lution was declared to be carried unanimously, and the chair-
man introduced the candidate to the meeting.
Mr. WM. EVANS, in addressing the meeting, alluded to the
fact of the honour being unsolicited on his part; but he
accepted the invitation in the hope of being able to benefit his
fellow-townsmen, and to make himself useful in that body to
which they had agreed to send him as their representative.
Mr. Taos. MACKAY proposed Mr. Walter P. M'Gregor as a
candidate for the representation of North Toxteth, Mr. WAT-
SON seconded the motion, which was declared to be carried.
Mr. M'Gregor was not present. Thanks were voted to the
chairman, and the meeting shortly afterwards broke up.

WEST DERBY WARD.

- -
A meeting of the electors of this ward, supporters of Mr.
John Aikin, was held last night, at the house of Mr. Coombes,
Grinfield-street, Edge-hill. The chair was occupied by Mr.
James Staines. After brief addresses, Mr. J. Ryley moved,
and Mr. Gordon seconded, a resolution declaring Mr. John
Aikin a fit and proper person to represent this ward in the
Town Council. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr.
Aikin then addressed the meeting in a speech of considerable
length, in which he touched forcibly on the education question.
In reference to the Town Dues, he declared his conviction
that they were the bond fide property of the borough, and
I Mild not legally be abrogated without granting compen-
sation for them.
