FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1856.
LIVERPOOL is 'certainly the most unpopular town
in the three kingdoms, both in Parliament and in
Downing-st cot. This being the largest trading
port in the Empire, we are most deeply affected
by the. Sound Dues—these are to be capitalised.
As the greatest commercial emporium, we are
more directly interested in the question of steam
communication with Australia ; but, notwithstand-
ing that two Liverpool houses tendered for the
conveyance-of the mails, the contract was given
to a Glasgow firm. Then comes the attack upon
our corporate property, sanctioned by the PALMER.
ETON Cabinei; and the rescue of its mendacious
authors from a complete and ignominous defeat
by the PREMIER himself, who, to save a toady
adherent, did not scruple to put the country at
large, as well as the Ratepayers of this town,
to many thousands of pounds of . expense, in
defence of long-established rights of property.

The PALMERSTON Whigs and Kidderminster non-

descripts, are, no doubt, delighted to have an
opportunity of punishing their Parliamentary foes
in this Borough, but they have no right to mulct,
their friends. And what shall we say of the Oppo-
sitiOn, who would suffer their Corporate allies to
be fleeced of their lawful estate?
Mr. HORSFALL has done good service on the
Town Dues. Committee. Greater tact might have
accomplished more ; but our Tory representative
did his best while he was able to attend to his
Parliamentary duties. We say this much in that
spirit of fairness which, we trust, will always be
found a leading characteristic of the NORTHERN
TIMES ; and we deeply regret the heavy affliction
which has deprived Mr. HORSFALL'S constituents
of his services, when Mr. SHIITTLEWORTH was
left to combat a hostile phalanx, who, to gain a
most unenviable notoriety, seem to have thrown
aside all Parliamentary etiquette. But we cannot
understand why Mr. LOWE is so anxious to bind
us to a 'definition Of what is called the " Lordship
of Liverpool." There is nothing more easy to be
understood. The boundaries of the ancient and
Parliamentary Borough are perfectly intelligible
to those who really wish for correct information,
as the Ratepayers within the limits of the ancient
Lordship or Borough will find out, if the Town
Thies are transferred to the Board of Trade.
Wherever the- Corporation can lay a rate inland,
they have a right to levy Town Dues; and if that
source of income be taken from them, they will be
compelled to. raise funds by a tax within the old
Corporate limits, to pay the interest of the Town
Dues debt. Mr. LowE knows this as well as any
merchant or householder in the town.
The Vice-President of the Board of Trade has
gained nothing, however, by an assumption of
ignorance. Mr. SHIITTLEWORTH has given Mr.
LowE all the information he can ask as regards the
boundaries laid down in our title-deeds; and having
adopted the fight of usage, as first contended
for by the late Mr. FosTER when Town-clerk, Mr.
SHIITTLEWORTH has left nothing for Mr. Lows or
Mr. MILNER GIBSON to desire. When we have the
Committee's report, alluding to this branch of the
enquiry before us, we have every reason to believe
that we shall find the ancient boundaries and usages
have been adhered to, without showing the slightest
attempt at innovation in any direction. Town
Dues and Port charges have never been demanded
beyond the legal limits of the Lordships and Port
of Liverpool. Mr. FosTER, when speaking on this
