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
mid not legally be abrogated without granting compen-
sation for them.

LONDON CORN 3IARRET.—(From Kingsford and Lay's•
Circular.)—A fair supply of Essex and Kent Wheat, the con-
dition of which was not so good as of late, and in order to
effect sales a decline of 2s. was necessary. Foreign met a
retail inquiry, at fully former rates. The little fine Barley at
market sold at fully former rates, but inferior sorts were very
unsaleable. Beans and Hog Peas being scarce, brought fully
late rates, but white were rather cheaper. Oats, a dull sale.
In Flour but little done, and country marks sold on rather
easier terms.
