THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS:

At five o'clock last evening, being the latest !tour
aPPoihted for the nennihation of Candidates for the
approaching miinicipal eleetions, there was a consider,
able amotint of excitement Manifested at the ToWn-hall
by parties anxious to Ito* the wards in Which opposi-
tion would take place. It appears that contests are
threatened in three wards, and that iii two of them
they sprang up almost at the eleventh hour.

EVERTON WARD,

In this ward Mr. Daniel Crosthwaite is the retiring
member, and against his re-electien three candidates
have been nominated ; but whether all will appear on. the
day of the kilt is extremely doubtful. The candidates
are—Mr. Daniel Crosthwaite, the present member; Mr.
T. G. Mellor, nominated by J. W. Hughes ; William
Williams, nominated by John Worsnop ; Mr. Thomas
Leicester, nominated by Mr. J. G. Howson: .

VAUXHALL WARD.
In this ward a candidate has been found to oppose the
re-election of Mr. J. C. Corbally, in the person of Mr.
William Johnson, who was nominated by Mr. Charles
Beaty, of Vauxhall-road. •

LIME-STREET WARD.
In this ward it is now positively certain that there
will be a bond fele contest, Mr. P. G. }leyworth hayin9;
been nominated as a candidate by Mr. S. B. Jackson, in
opposition to Mr. James Johnson, the retiring court,
cillor. The friends of the last gentleman are on the
alert, and. the struggle will no doubt be a severe one.
Mr. Johnson's friends appear confident of success, trust-
ing rather to the past services which that gentleman has
rendered to the ward and the town in general than to
political agitations. Thursday next will decide the
affair.

WARDS UNOPPOSED.
In the following wards no second candidate has been
put in nomination ; therefore, each gentleman will be
re-elected I

MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF MR.
WILLIAM JOHNSON.
Last evening a public meeting of the fiiends of the
above-named gentleman was held at Mr. D. Hill's,
Washington Inn, Waterloo-road, for the purpose of
securing his retina to the Council on the Ist of No-
vember next. •It was generally expected that Mr. Cor-
bally, the present representative of the ward, would not
have been opposed; but, much to the astonishment of
a great iitiniber of persons, when the nominations were
commenced, it appeared that Mr, William Johnson, an
eminent engineer, had been duly proposed. lii order,
therefore, to secure Mr. Johnson's return, a meeting of
his supporters *as held as above; and they were not
only numerous but most enthusiastic in the selection
they bad made.
Mr. CHARtES BEtat was unaniinously called upon to
preside. He expressed the great pleasure he felt at
being present at the meeting, but doubted his ability to
pe: form the duties of the office, and therefore he hoped
that his remarks would be looked upon with leniency.
They were all aware of the object of the meeting,
which was to take steps to secure the retard of a fit and
proper person to represent the ward in the Town
Council on Tuesday next. He was sorry to say that
they had not been represented in the Town Council as
they should have been. There was no doubt but they
had had a very respectable man to represent them,
but what they wanted was a man who knew the wants
of the ward, and who was come-at-able at all times.
(Cheers). For his own part, he did not think
that he had seen the present reti-ins representa-
tive since the day he was elected up to the present time.
What they wanted was a person who was known to
the ward, and all that was connected with it. And he
thought, and firmly believed, that they would find
such a person in Mr. Win Johnson. • (Cheers.) He
concluded by saying that he did not think that they
could possibly have made a better selection than they
had done, and he really hoped that all parties interested
in the welfare of the ward and of the town in general,
would use their utmost exertions to secure the retum of
Mr. Win. Johnson. (Cheers.)
.Mr. J. HoLMES, in moving a resolution that Mr. W.
Johnson was a t and proper person to represent the
ward, said he had known Mr. Johnson for the last
thirty years, both in his public and his private life,
and he did not believe that a more fit and proper person
could he found to represent the ward. He was a gen-
tleman who was intimately acquainted with the wants
of the ward, and he that he (Mr. JohnsOn)
would do his utmost to secure justice to the ward. Hb
concluded by proposing that he was a fit and proper
person to represent the ward in the next Council. (Loud
cheers.)
Mr. JOHN JONES, had much pleasure in seconding the
proposition, because he did not believe that a better man
could be found to fill the duties of town councillor;
because he lived in the ward, was a man of business,
and could always be found when he was wanted. He
then went on to show that-the requii'ements of the ward
had been much and most disgracefully neglected, in a
sanitary point of view—so much so, that the Vauxhall
Ward was a bye-word for unhealthiness. He next
referred to the state of the streets, and said that
although that Ward was the principal manufaeturin
ward in the town, it was so circumscribed that
it had no outlets, except by Leeds-street, which
was impassable. He contended that the money
which had been obtained by the Corporation, by
the sale of the old borough' gaol, situated as it was in
the ward, should have been expended in the improve-
ments of the ward, and designated the non-appropriation
of the money in such a way as "a piece of plunder."
He concluded- by saying that he,was quite sure that if
Mr. Johnson was returned he would find, if there was
not talent sufficient amongst the officials of the Corpora-
tion—which he did not say there was not—some plan,
either by a tunnel or a high level railway, of getting out
of the ward in some respectable way, instead of by the
dangerous and disgraceful- outlets they had at the
present time. r
Mr.-WinLiAst JOHNSON then came forward, and was
received with the greatest applause by those assembled.
He assured them that he appeared under great diffidence,
because he had never before been so flattered in the
course of his life; but he begged to state that, if elected,
he would to the best of his ability do his duty to the
ward and to the town generally. He said that in a sanitary
view, the ward had been much neglected ; so much so,
that it had become conspicuous throughout the country for
the odium attached to it for its unhealthiness. For
his own part, he had not a word to say against Mr.
Corbally—he was a gentleman—but it was thought by
a large number of the ratepayers that he had not repre-
sented them, and therefore he had been waited upon ;
all he would say was that if elected he would do
his utmost to represent the interest of the ward and the
town in general.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
business of the meeting.

NORTH AND SOUTH TORTE TH WARDS.
A large and influential. meeting of the electors of
North and South Toxteth Wards was held at the Royal
Oak Inn last evening, to congratulate Thomas Vernon
and Joseph Steel, Esqrs., on their re-election for the
North and South Toxteth Wards. In the absence of
the chairman, G. H. Horsfall, Esq., Joseph Harrison,
Esq., presided. On taking the chair, Mr. Harrison
said he was most happy to inform the electors that there
was no opposition to Mr. Vernon for the North, and
Mr. Steel for the South Toxteth Wards—which was
a most substantial proof that the electors of the ward
were satisfied with the manner in which those gentle-
men discharged the trust reposed in them; and he beg-
ged to congratulate those gentlemen on their return to
the Council chamber. Both gentlemen, being present,
returned thanks. Mr. Siddeley also addressed the
assembled electors.
