TO THE BURGESSES OF LIME-STREET WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
IBEG to offer my Thanks to the JOINT
COMMITTEE of the ELECTORS of the WARD
for their Vnte of Confidence in me, which, I.am informed, was
passed at their meeting on the 7th instant.
I have much pleasure in comp:ying with the request made by the
numerous and irfiuential deputation which did me the honour to
call upon me this morning, that I would offer myself for RE-ELEC-
TION on the Ist November next. If I should be so fortunate as
to be again one of your Representatives in the Council, I shall
endeavour to continue to merit your good opinion by my attention
to the interests of the Borough.

Since 1 have had a seat in the Council very many important sub-
jects have been under consideration, but I feel that the next three
years will require the strictest attention of your Representatives, in
consequence of the heavy engagements which, to a certain extent,
have been forced upon the Corporation.—l remain, Gentlemen.
yours faithfully,

JOHN B. LLOYD,

Exchange-alley. 13th ectober, 1856

TO THE ELECTORS OF ABERCROMBY WARD
ENTLExEN,

THE period for which you did me the honour to
elect me to represent your interests in the Town
Connell 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 intri; ded 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 meet ng of the Electors of the Ward, and in a manner
so gratifying to my &ell' gs that I hay- 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 net abused
the confidence you have placed in me. and that I 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
cotripli,r.ent paid to me. which is the cause of my now addressing
you. In discussing the measures which have been brought before
the Council. it has been my study to promote all those which
appeared to me best calculated to promote the welfare of the com-
munity at large, and strenuously to oppose all having a contrary
tendency. Such will be my conduct in future, ehould ou do me
the honour to reinstate me in the situation I now hold.

I am, with much respect

Gentlemen,

Your obedient humble servant.
WILLIAM EARLE,

Abercromby-square, October 17, 1656.
TO THE ELECTORS OF LIME STREET WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
RAVING received a REQUISITION, signed
by upwards of 300 of your body, in the unprece-
dented abort space of two days, requesting me to offer myself as a
CANDIDATE at the ensuing MUNICIPAL ELECTION, to repre-
-* your interests in the TOWN COUNCIL, I am induced at once
to the request so made, and to place my services at vonr

to ac cc..

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
increasins c mmerce and populatl,n, to the Increased responsibility
d-volving upon the Corporate Exchequer, from the purchase of the
Ifirkenhead Docks; or, to the envy which our deserved success
appear's, unf rtunately, to have created elsewhere.
In my opinion, our Town Dues have been most unfairly and
nnjwitly attacked, and the attempt which has been made to confis-
cate such property, when held by Corporations, and yet to maintain
the same title as sacred, when held by private individuals, appears
to me A,.t only absurd, but iniquitous.
I lAs Ratepayers, Gentlemen, the trade of the port must necessarily
demand her first considerations, and, to give every possible facility to
our rapidly growing commerce, is obviously our first duty. To this
end. 1 consider that unnecessary elongation of our Doc :s should be
avoided, and that the inland concentration of these should be our
tudy.

If elected to the Council, I will endeavour to ascertain, with as
the delay as possible, what it is that constitutes the orpurate
a view to its improved revenue; for I deem it to be a

Estate, w
dep

rable fact, that no one gentleman in the Council Chamber pos-
sesses this knowledge; nor does it appear that our princely-paid
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 twelve months ago, and it is not yet forthcoming.
I have been no inconsiderable Ratepayer in your Ward for nearly
a quarter of a century; your interests and mine, therefore, as Rate-
payers, must necessarily be identical.
On several occasions you have expressed a wish that I should
represent you in the Town council ; but hitherto I have considered
the time that was at my disposal insufficient for the faithful dis-
charge of duties so onerous and responsible, and have felt con.
strained to decline that honour. Now, however, if it is your plea-
Sure to elect me, on the lot November next, to serve as one of your
Representatives, I shall be proud to undertake the duties which the
office will impose upon me, and to discharge them to the test of my
Sbi Ity.—l am, gentlemen, yours respectfully.
JAMES R. JEFFERY.

ENLARGEMENT

MONDJY, OCTOBER 20, 1856,

THE DAY'S NEWS

rermosa, arrived at Point de Galle. We have
given in another column full particulars of the
news as it has reached us, and an attentive perusal
of the same will amply repay the reader.
In Saturday's NORTHERN TIMES we alluded to
the practical joking case at Brighton, and also
intimated that the Commander-in•chief had dis-
missed the delinquents, on the ground that they
has been guilty of conduct unbecoming gentlemen,
and subversive of good order and military discipline.
There has been neither hesitation nor circumlocu-
tion in the manner in which justice has been
administered in this case. The decision of his
Royal Highness, and the promptitude with which it
was taken, will alike give general satisfaction. The
British army has never enjoyed a higher degree of
appreciation and goodwill from the public than at
the present time. Their gallant services in the
late war effaced the memory of certain recent
scandals of a similar kind to the late occurrence at
Brighton. There prevails, however, a general
anxiety that the service shall not only be main-
tained in the highest state of efficiency in all
departments, but that its internal discipline shall
be so regulated that it shall continue to merit the
good opinion existing towards it in the public
mind. The accounts of the late outrageous and
disreputable proceedings of Lord Ernest Vane
Tempest, and his . companions, towards a
young brother officer, naturally, then, ex-
cited considerable indignation. The decision
of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge was waited for with much anxiety, for
the case being the first that has come under his
notice since his appointment to the chief com-
mand, it must have an influence on the " tone" of
the whole service. Now his Royal Highness has
done his duty, and fulfilled it with a prompti-
tude that will confirm the favourable expectations
that were formed of his fitness for the high and
responsible office with which he has been entrusted.
Young officers of the army, who cannot be
restrained by homilies on the conduct expected
from gentlemen from indulging in disgraceful
practical jokes, and stupid acts of petty persecution,
will be convinced by what has been done in this
case, that they can no longer hope to escape the
proper consequence of any proceedings that may
discredit the respectability of their honourable
profession. •
Steps are being taken for the re-asssembling of
Ministers in London, with the view of maturing
measures for the approaching session of Parlia-
ment, and, according to a semi official London
Sunday paper, the bills introduced last session by
the General Board of Health, the Public Health
Amended Bill, the Burial Bill, the Vaccination
Bill, and the Medical Profession Bill will be
re-introduced, with amendments. The Board of
Trade will again bring forward those measures
which were shelved last session, after having been
referred to select committee. The bill for obtain-
ing agricultural statistics, will also be introduced
at an early period of the session, and will be
referred to a select committee, with the view of
ascertaining the best means of obtaining accurate
information, without having recourse to inquisito-
rial proceedings. Originally it was proposed that
the collection of facts should be obtained through
the Poor Law Board, and from the vast machinery
which theboard has at their disposal throughout the
country, this would be the most natural course to
pursue. It seems, !however, that the Poor Law
Board is not very popular with the farmers and
several large landholders, among whom is the
Earl of Derby, recommends the statistical
department of the Board of Trade as the
best medium to obtain the information. It is
feared, however, that the new machinery they
would have to create would be of too costly a cha-
racter. There is another department which might
procure it with but little trouble and cost, viz , the
Registrar General's department. The whole of the
country is divided into districts and sub districts,
with proper officials appointed, through whom the
last census was taken, and, next to the Poor Law
Board, this would appear to be the body most
available. One of the great questions that will
occupy the attention of the Cabinet before Parlia_
ment meets will be the subject of education ;
already three eminent statesmen have prepared
and submitted plans to Parliament, and it will be
the duty of Government to decide which of the
' three methods they will adopt, if they adopt
any. The vexed question of church rates
will stand the chance of being in the
same position at the end of next session as it
was at the end of the last, for the subject is not yet
sufficiently ripe fur the Government to introduce
a measure. The Metropolis Local Management
Act will require to be amended, difficulties having
intervened as to raising sufficient funds to meet the
heavy amounts that will be required in a short
time. The Lord Chancellor and the law officers of
the Crown, both in England Ireland, will have to
be ready with measures early in the session, founded
on the voluminous evidence taken before the
select committee. The Home Secretary will
once again have to deal with the Corporation of
the City of London ; and, it is expected, with more
success than last year.

There has been a kind of political reunion at
Birmingham. The Mayor gave a grand banquet in
the new Music Hall a few evenings ago. The High
Sheriff of the county, the Recorder of the borough,
and three members of Parliament—Mr. Spooner,
Mr. Muntz, and Mr. Scholefield—were present.
The speeches were common place. Mr. Scholefield
said, that he could wish that the House of Commons
would move a little faster; but still he was proud
to belong to it, believing it to be an assembly
superior to anything the world has ever seen
before. Not one of them would change it for
the Spanish Cortes, the French House of Assembly,
or even for the House of Representatives in America.
Our Continental advices inform us that a report
had been current at Vienna on the 11th inst , to
the effect that a second despatch from Naples of
General de Martini, Paris plenipotentiary, had
arrived, and offered but slight hopes of a pacific
solution. The King and his courtiers believe that
in case of an extremity they can reckon• on the
fidelity of the army and on the assistance of the
population. Will events justify that confidence ?
M. de Buillac, of the French Fereign-office, has
arrived with important despatches for Baron
de Bourqueney, who had an immediate conference
with Count Buol.

We have a letter from Naples dated October 13,
which says ;—The Neapolitans are tired of waiting
for the fleets. They think grave political events
are to take place with the facility of changes at a
theatre. So some say there is no hope for them
now that France and England have thrown them
over. We hope and know better things, and are
not disheartened nor frightened by Russian
swagger as reproduced by the Court party there.
The King will hold out to the last moment ; he
thinks he loses nothing by waiting, and he knows
there is no internal danger to be dreaded. The
people, you are aware, have no arms, no leaders,
and little confidence or reliance in one another, so
completely has Government demoralised them.
The strong point is, that the very means the King
uses to hold his throne are the infringements of
international law and a direct violation of the
Federal laws of Switzerland—viz., importing the
Swiss !

There is nothing worthy of special notice in our
local intelligence. The only question of interest,
for the time being, is the Municipal Election. To-
night Mr. J. B. Lloyd's friends meet at the Free-
mason's Hall, when that gentleman will attend
and explain his principles and policy, as the Repre-
sentative of Lime-street Ward. We shall not fail to
give a full and faithful report of the proceedings.
A telegraphic despatch from Marseilles, of the
19th instant, says—The Journal of Constantinople,
of the 9th instant, confirms the victory gained by
the Circassians near Laba. Yafer opposed the Rus-
sians with 30,000 men. After three hours fighting
he took nineteen guns from them, and made 800
prisoners, the greater part composed of recruits.
Another engagement took place at Kouban, where
the Russians again lost five guns.
It is reported that 16000 English have organised
in the Persian Gulf an expedition caused by the
taking of Herat, which is considered as a violation
of the treaty of 1853.

The Canada, arrived here yesterday morning, has
brought us another instalment of the " sayings and
doings " in the United States, in regard to the
Presidential Campaign. As the time approaches
when the "universal" vote of the people will
decide who is to rule the roast in the ‘• White
House," Washington, for the next four years com-
mencing in March next, the intensity of the
contest increases; and, if we can credit some of
