TO THE ELECTORS OF ABERCROMBY WARD
GENTLEMEN,

THE period for which you did me the honour to
elect me to represent your interests in the Town

Council is drawing to a close. You are aware that I have always
entertained the opinion that the choice of the Councillors of a Ward
is a matter which should rest entirely in the hands of the Electors.
I should, therefore, net have intruded myself upon your notice had
I not been requested to solicit your votes at the ensuing Election.
The invitation was conveyed to me by a deputation from a highly
respectable meeting of the Electors of the Ward, and in a manner
se gratifying to my feelir gs that I have great pleasure in accepting
It. You have always pursued the dignified course of exacting no
pledge from me on any subject whatever. I hope I have not abused
the confidence you have placed in me, and that 1 may, without
presumption, assume that my conduct, to a certain extent at least,
has met your approbation, or I should not have had the flattering

Your obedient humble servant.

KIRKDALE `YARD.

GENTLEMEN,
AVING had the honour to receive an influen-
tial and numerously signed Requisition, asking me to
offer myself as a CANDIDATE at the approaching Municipal Elec-
tion to represent your interests in the Town Council, I feel that, in
being thus called upon, at a time when municipal questions of mag-
nitude and importance are pending, I should be doing violence to
a sense of duty if I refused to piace my services at your disposal.
Having spent my life amongst yon, and bring engaged in mercan-
tile pursuits, I cannot but feel a deep interest in all that concerns
my native town, and especially that cipstrict of it in which I fixed
my residence for a number of years.

Though hitherto abstaining from active interference in public
matters, I trust that I have been neither an uninterested spectator
of the mistake s,-struggles, a. d triumphs which have marked the
onward progress of this great community, nor indifferent to the
lessons they convey. Jealous of existing anuses and defects, I am

Of the great question of popular Education in Day and Sabbath
I have ever been the humble but ardent sup-
porter. To aid in bringing this inestimable blessing within reach of
the poorer clas,es of this ward, has been for years past the object of
rny personal efforts and solicitude ; whilst all that can contribute to
promote the social, moral, and religious progress and well-being of
the community, and elevate it to a higher and happier position,
commands my warmest sympathies.
Should you elect me one of your Representatives, it shall be
my constant endeavour to discharge the duties of the trust faith-
fully, and to the best of my ability, and
I remain, Gentlemen,

TO THE ELECTORS OF LIME STREET WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
nAVING received a REQUISITION, signed
by upwards of 300 of your body, in the unprece-
dented short space of two days, requesting me to offer myself as a
CANDIDATE at the ensuing MUNICIPAL ELECTION, to repre-
sent your Interests in the TOWN COUNCIL, I am induced at once
to accede to the request so made, and to place my services at your
disposal. . _

Never was there a period, in the history of the Borough, when
interests so great demanded the careful attention and best judg-
ment of your Representatives—whether we refer to its rapidly
increasing c .mmerce and populati,n, to the increased responsibility
devolving upon the Corporate Exchequer, trom the purchase of the
Birkenhead Docks; or, to the envy which our deserved success
appears, unf rtnnately

deplorable fact, that no one gentleman in the Council Chamber pos-

officials are any better informed upon this subject than are our
Councillors and Aldermen themselves, as is proved by the circum-
stance, that Mr. Robertson Gladstone moved for this information
more than twslve months ago, and it is notyet forthcoming.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1856,

THE DAY'S NEWS

Matters at home and abroad are in anything but
a satisfactory position. At home we are labouring
under the discouraging influence of an unexploded
monetary crisis, the final result of which, the very
best informed, or most pertinacious of currency
r(

)rmers, can give but crude and undigested
ideas. Abroad, the political horizon betokens
anything but peace. Affairs in Naples continue to
puzzle the diplomatists of Europe. Russia and Cir-
cassia are in arms, and, according to late advices
from Constantinople, Sefer Pacha has already
gained two victories over the Russians in Circassia,
and took from them about 800 prisoners and
twenty-one guns. Again, the battle of parties in
the United States is as fierce as ever. The Slavery
contention, and the Presidential Campaign, are
inseparably connected, and bid fair to render
assunder the political chain which binds the
North to the South.

In this state of affairs it is pleasant to witness
the anxiety which many parties, high in station,
and commanding in influence, manifest for the
extension and promotion of the education of the
people. The Lord Bishops of Lichfield and Soder
and Man have been addressing a public meeting
on the subject in Lichfield, and urging in earnest
terms the paramount importance of the question,
taking care of course to argue that, as a State,
they were bound to prefer that system which
would teach the millions in the principles of the
Established Church.

Alluding to the Church, suggests a remark or
two respecting the late ecclesiastical appointments.
According to all we can learn, there is something
irregular, if not positively wrong, about the
appointment of Mr. French to the Deanery of
Westminster; and there are a couple of rumours
afloat to explain how it was he lost the Bishopric
)f Gloucester, notwithstanding the advocacy and
journal

„port of the "leading One version of
the affair is, that the Prenner made the appoint-
ment, but either forgot or wilfully omitted to con-
sult the Queen. who felt indignant at the slight
thus passed upon her. She, therefore, refused to
ratify the nomination, so that Dr. Baring was the
lucky aspirant. On the other hand, it is said that
Lord Ashburton, by some understanding or
another, had been promised the see and would not
give way. Whilst a third version is, that pious
Lord Shaftesbury so played upon the feelings of
Lady Palmerston as to the Puseyitical leanings of
Mr. French, that she induced her lord to
cancel the nomination. Truly such tales
are a scandal upon the church, and argue with
irresistable force for its separation from the State.
If a ” Right Rev. Father in God " cannot be
created without such political intrigues and petty-
coat influence, the sooner that separation is effected
the better will it be, not only for the Church itself,
but the nation at large.
We have elsewhere alluded to the case of prac-
tical joking at Brighton. Lord Ernest Vane
figures prominently in the affair. Opinions may
differ as to whether Cornet Ames was not better
fitted for the millinery business than for the army;
but that persons assuming the title of gentlemen
should be allowed to cut off the whiskers from one
side of a fellow officer's cheek, feed him with
pap, slap him behind like an infant, melt his
candles, and water his bed, and all this,
as it would appear, because he would
not join in vice and extvavagance, may be
too much even for our army administrators to
tolerate. The affair is under the orders of the
Horse Guards, and we hope sincerely that the
Royal Duke, who now presides over the army,
will be nothing lothe to punish the authors of an
outrage, unpardonable in every sense of the word.
The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has been enjoy-
ing the hospitalities of the nobility of Ulster, and
in every town through which he passes the people
come forward to greet him, headed by men of
local influence, who all, with one voice, bear testi-
mony to the prosperity of the country, and the
improved condition of the masses. His Excel-
lency heard the same pleasing story in the South
and West, and as all parties have joined in it without
a dissenting voice, we must conclude that this testi-
mony is true, and not proceeding from the spirit of
adulation. The Lord Advocate of Scotland. look-
ing at the capital of Ulster with a fresh eye, and
comparing it with other cities which he had recently
visited, spoke in glowing terms of its prosperity.
He said to the Belfast people, in his able and
eloquent lecture, that he found their river
crowded with shipping, he saw mills rising on
every side, and he enquired what were the ends,
responsibilities, and probable results of all
that wonderful increase of wealth and commerce ?
But it is not merely from the addresses to the Lord
Lieutenant, or the replies of his Excellency, or the
testimony of visitors, that we know the country
has improved rapidly since the great crisis through
which it has passed since 1846. The progress of
the country is demonstrated by the statistics of
agriculture and of commerce, and of education,
and of pauperism, and of crime. All the tests that
can be applied to the social condition of a nation
give the same result; industry revived and
healthful, trade flourishing, and society advancing.

Continental matters as usual, are not satisfactory.
Neapolitan affairs are still guess work. From any
thing we can learn, the missions of both the French
and English will be a complete failure, and King
Bomba be left to play on unheeded his despicable
tricks of tyranny and inhumanity. The last
accounts from Naples inform us that his Majesty
is still at Gaeta, and apparently still bent on
resistance. Great quantities of ammunition have
been taken to St. Elmo, and not a day passes in
which we do not witness signs of military prepara-
tion. The public works at Ischia have been
suspended, and 200 prisoners transferred from
