MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD.
Meetings of the friends of Mr. William Williams
were held last evening in the Derby Arms, Kirkdale,
and in the house of Mr. Anderson, Church-street,
Everton. Our reporter attended the meeting at Kirk-
dale, and found from fifteen to twenty gentlemen
assembled in one of the sitting-rooms. Mr. Atherton
was in the chair. Several spoke in laudatory terms of
the %opacity and fitness of the new.candidate. Can-
vassers commence their rounds this morning, and every
effort will be exerted to return Mr. Williams to the
Council. It is understood that Mr. Lester and Mr.
Miller have retired from the contest. The meeting at
Everton was, we understand, of a similar nature to that
at liirkdale._

• ' LIME-STREET WARD.
Last evening the electors of this ward met at Mr.
Ford's, Swan Hotel, London-road. Mr. Johnson was
present, as was also most of his friends and supporters.
The returns of the several canvassers were so satisfactory
that, although there was a large meeting, Mr. Johnson's
friends considered it perfectly unnecessary that he should
further explain his views and opinions, hating so faith-
fully served the ward and the town for past years.
There is no doubt but that Mr. Johnson will be returned
by a large majority, notwithstanding that the extreme
radical party has been using every effort to get him
rejected, But .while be has the support of the respec-
table portion of the constituency, both liberals and
conservatives, according to his friends' account, there
cannot be much doubt as to the result. Indeed, it
Gstated by some of the electors of the ward, that Mr.
. P. He worth will not stand the contest on the day
the fight comesw oil.

VAUXHALL WARD.
The friends and supporters of Christopher J. Cor-
bully, Esq., met at the house of Mr. R. Wood, 23,
Waterloo-road, last night. The meeting wasnd very
poorly attended. Mr. Powell took the chair, ain a
few appropriate remarks introduced the subject for
which the meeting had been convened. He passed
esa
glowing euloginm on the many excellent qualiti
possessed by Mr. Corbally, and concluded by stating
that that gentleman was the only fit and proper person
whom they could elect to represent their interests in the
Council.
Mr. WILLIA?t FAIRBAIRN, in a neat and pithy speech,
proposed a resolution to the following effect :—M
" That
the best thanks of this meeting be given r. C. J.
Corbally for his faithful services during the three years
that he had held office for this ward, and that the
meeting do pledge itself to use every legitimate means
in its power to secure his re-election on the Ist of
November." (Heat, hear.)
Mr. Cole seconded the resolution, which was carried
unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN read a letter from Mr. Corally ex-
pressing his deep regret that, from a temporary indis
position, he was prevented from attending the meeting
that evening.
Mr. SLOAN rose, and said that Mr. Corbally was very
much entitled to the support of the Liberal party.
Though entertaining a great respect and high opinion
of Mr. Johnson, still Mr. Sloan did not think that he.
would make M good a member of the council Jr.
porbally.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the
iroceedings.
