TO THE ELECTORS OF CASTLE-STREET

GENTLEMEN ,—I feel that I should be wanting in gratitude
to those Electors who on Thursday recorded their votes in my
favour, and personally exerted themselves to promote my Elec-
tion, were I not to tender them my most sincere thanks.
In consequence of the success of an unworthy manoeuvre,
which reflects no credit on the parties who oriainated it, I have
ceased to be one of your Representatives in the Town Council.
I cannot, however. retire from my pubPc duties without thank •
ing you for the confidence which, during the six years 1 had the
honour of representing you, you were pleased to place in me. I
shall ever look back upon those six years with pride; for
although I feel conscious of many failures in the performance of
my duties, I can conscientiously say that I have endeavoured to
perform them faithfully.-1 have tile honour to remain, Gentle-
men, yours very respectfully, THOMAS AVISON.

Yesterday, a boy named John Thompson was sentenced by
the police magistrate to be imprisoned three months for steal-
ing two half-crowns from the shop kept by Mary Hill, in
Mildart-street, on Saturday last.
ROBBERY PROM THE PERSON.—Yesterday, Margaret Wil-
liams, or Sheen, who was charged by Ann Mackay with
stealing from her pocket the sum of fourteen shillings on
Saturday last, in Scotland-road, was convicted, and sentenced
to be imprisoned for three months.
ATTEMPTED ROBBERY OF A TILL.—A boy, named Patrick
Keenan, was brought before the Police-court yesterday,
charged with attempting to rob the till of the shop kept by
Ellen Sharp, in London-road, on Saturday. He was detected
in the act of opening the till ; and having been on six previous
occasions convicted of similar offences, he was sentenced to be
imprisoned for three months.
DEATH PROM EXCESSIVE DRINKING.— On Saturday night,
a labourer, named James Earle Probert, who lived in 39 court,
Frederick-street, went home to his lodgings in a state of in-
toxication, his usual condition. He complained of a burning
pain in his throat, and asked for something to drink. Having
obtained this, he went to bed. During the night, be rose, and
still complaining of his throat, had another drink. Towards
morning, he got worse, and on trying to drink some cold
water, was unable to swallow it, and was put to bed, where he
was found dead soon afterwards.

some hay he expected by railway, at the Great Howard-street
Station, he got in front of some waggons which were being
shifted by horses. Not being quite aware of their proximity
to where he was, Edon was caught by them, and jammed
between them and the one on which his hay was placed. In
the collision he suffered such injuries as to cause the neces-
sity of his removal to the Northern Hospital, where he died
on Sunday.
CHAMBER or COMMERCE.—The monthly meeting of the
Council was held yesterday, Edward Heath, Esq., president,
in the chair. The usual formal business being disposed of,
the committee appointed on the 23rd ult., on the present state
of monetary affairs, was requested to take into consideration
the operation of the Bank Charter Act of 1844, and to report
to the Council. It was ordered that a copy of the report of
the deputation to the Paris Exhibition, on the samples of
cotton and other raw produce there exhibited, be sent to the
Board of Trade. Among the communications were letters
from the Foreign-office, in reply to the memorial on the sub-
ject of the loan to the Monte Videan Government of 1845,—
referred to the Special Committee ; also one from the Board of
Trade, in answer to the suggestion that a floating light-house
should be placed at the entrance of St. George's Channel, to
indicate the fair way, and stating the reasons for declining to
comply therewith.
LIVERPOOL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.—A meeting of this
society was !held last night, at the Royal Institution ; John
Grantham, Esq., in the chair. It was announced that the
prize of £2O, offered by Mr. Mondel, for the best model of a
merchant ship, had been awarded to Mr. Claughton, of South-
hampton. The model was exhibited, as well as several of the
competing ones, and excited much interest. A paper by Mr.
Miller was read, descriptive of a new pyrometer of his inven-
tion. It was followed by some discussion, in the course of
which the chairman described a pyrometer which he had
seen in operation, and which had this advantage over Mr.
Miller's that it was continuous in its application. The next
paper was one by Mr. Jones, descriptive of Callen and Ripley's
patent multiplying rotative motion, which was illustrated by
a well-executed model. The great advantage gained was by
the reduced friction, and it was said to be peculiarly applicable
to the screws of large steamers, not only economising space,
but gaining speed. It was intended to exhibit a model of
Clelland's stone boring machine, but in the absence of the
president, who was to explain it, the exhibition was postponed.
SPLENDID WATER-COLOUR PORTRAITS.—We have been
much gratified by a private view of a splendid collection of
water-colour portraits, in the studio of Mrs. Musgrave,
in Oxford-street East. This lady is on a brief visit to
Liverpool, from London and Edinburgh, in both of which
capitals she practices as a water-colour portrait painter.
Among the limited collection she has brought with her, there
are admirable specimens of her talent as an artist. The style
of her portraits is bold and vigorous, yet they are manipulated
with all the delicacy of the most minute and elaborately-
finished miniatures. Of those which we examined, it would be
difficult to say which most deserves admiration; but we were
agreeably struck with the stately beauty of a full-length por-
trait of Miss Grant ; in this the white satin costume is charm-
ingly executed, its lustre and richness being rendered
with
the most deceptive fidelity. The general air of this picture is
refined and graceful. A similar expression is fully warranted
in reference to those of the Hon. Mrs. Rashleigh, and Fanny
Lady Blantyre ; but it 'would be less easy to convey an idea
of the delicacy of handling and full rich beauty of colouring
displayed in the portraits of the
Hon. Mrs. Fitzroy Somerset,
and Lady Morgan. Mrs. MusgraCe has also some admirable
male pictures, and portraits of children.
