SCOTLAND WARD ELECTION.

A public meeting of the friends of Mr. Carne was
held ,yesterday evening, in the Saddle Inn, Scotland-
road. Mr. James Burroughs in the chair. The meeting
was very numerously attended, the large room being
crammed ; and amongst those present we observed
C. Carne, Esq. ; Alderman Dover, Alderman Bennett,
Councillors John Shimmin and D. Crosthwaite, Messrs.
J. Longton, E. Whitley, H. Lafone, T. Brakell, H.
Edmondson, H. Penis, jWatson, E. Williams, Branch,
Brown, White, Pattison, Hatch, M‘Knight, Livsey,
Blundell, Rothwell, &c., &e.

The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Burroughs) said—gentlemen,
you will excuse me for not entering into any lengthened
remarks, or detaining you further than to introduce to
you my friend Mr. Carne—(cheers),—and I am sure you
will receive hire; as he hv.s always been received-in this
ward. (Great cheering.)
Mr. CARNE (who on rising, was received with tre-
mendous applause) said that lie had already had the
pleasure of addressing the electors of this ward on so.
many former occasions, that little was left for him to
say, but what was in some measure a repetition
of his former remarks. At the same time he had
great.pleasure in presenting himself-before them on that
occasion ; and he sincerely hoped that he would be able
to satisfy them, if, indeed, he had not already done so,
that he had done right in coming forward at-this time,
in conformity with the request of many gentlemen in
whose judgment he, and the electors also, had confidence.
(Cheers.) Those gentlemen believed that he (Mr.
Came) was better qualified to represent them in the
Council than his opponent, Mr. Clarke Aspinall, who,,
in short, was not one in whom they could place confi-
dence as A representative. (Cheers.) Mr. Came then
recapitulated the grounds upon which he rested his
claims to their support ; as a merchant for many years,
and latterly as a warehouse-keeper, and as a very large
ratepayer in Scotland Ward. (Great applause.) In
,regard to the question of the cottage-owners, after going
into some details, he stated he would, if returned to the
Connell, be prepared to give a fair and reasonable con-
sideration to their claims. (Cheers.) Mr. Carne then
expressed his views in favour of the rating of the
docks, as it would greatly relieve the ratepayers of
Liverpool, while it could make no perceptible increase
on the rates on goods. (Cheers.) Another important
subject was that of the widening of the streets—(ap-
plause)—one attended with many difficulties, but which,
he thought, deserved immediate and serious attention.
One point on, which he might, make one or two
remarks was that of .the loss of the town-dues—a
catastrophe brought about through the efforts of the
Radicals (groans), and such compensation as had been
obtained, was' owing to the efforts of the' Conservatives,
(cheers) nobly, backed by their friend Lord, Derby'
(immense and prolonged cheering)—by Lord Derby
and the House of Lords (renewed
.and, enthusiastic
applause)—and therefore in this town at least; 'and in
this ward especially, the Conservatives ought, on thii,
among other grounds, to receive the preference Over
the Radicals, who had so fir countenanced and assisted
those depredators who had deprived the town of
the dock duos, and even prevented them, by
unauthorised interference in' the negotiations, from
outatumg- t 1 iii. 'l Ittas -a....-- —.4 -4' ...vasz in.- a itsa Litni
than they had done. (Great applause). So that,
upon the whole, and considering his long experience in.
business, his business habits, the time which he had it
in his power to devote to their service—and the faithful
perfOrmance of the • duties of their iepresentative' de-
manded much time' and anxious -consideration—
and the tolerable facility he had in expressing
his views 'plainly and intelligibly on any subject,- he
hoped he was justified in coming forward. On refer-
ring to the subject of the ." clocks," there were loud
cries of satisfaction with t.le ample explanations already
offered. Mr. Came stated that a friend—one of the
Liberals—whom he met that afternoon, had assured
him that all parties were perfectly satisfied on this
point; but that the topic had been introduced only
because,4 was one which formed a suitable election cry,
and nothing more ; and this was from one of the Libe-
rals, therefore he would say nothing more on that score.
Mr. Came then repeated the explanations already
ei•em e party disapproving
of
given of 'his
views on the subject of the schools, deci-
dedlyxtd, selling them as some of the
Radicals had suggested. He again
begged to thauk the electors for the warm reception he
had invariably 'received in 'the • ward, and if they
thought he had, from ex'p'erience and direct interest,
superior claims to those of his opponent, he trusted
they would show their confidence in him by being as
early as Possible at the poll—as he believed he had lost
in the former contest 'in' Everton Ward owing to the
importance of being very early' at the poll having on the
occasion been overlooked. "(On concluding, three most
hearty cheers, and one 'cheer more, were given by the
then densely crowded audience—the enthusiasm, as well
as the numbers, exceeding anything yet 'witnessed' in
connection with the. contest.)
Alderman 'Dovitn rose, and was received with load
and prolonged Cheers. He' said, the following reseln-
rne
tioa was'pat into his hand, which was, " In conseen
of the elevation of Mr. Woodruff to au aldermanie chair,-,
I heg to propose C. F. Came

" Committee-room, Travellers' Rest,
Scotland-road, Nov. 17, 1859.
"DEAR Sin,—The committee for conducting the elec-
tion of Clarke Aspinall, Esq., intend breakfasting to-
gether at the Travellers' Rest, Scotland-road, on Friday
morning, at seven o'clock. As a member of that com-
mittee, if it be convenient and agreeable, you are re-
quested to attend.—l am, dear sir, yours respectfully,
JOHN WALKER, Chairman."
He thought there was nothing wrong in following
the example set them, and as they intended to have
several committee meetings, he hoped as many as might
find it convenient would breakfast with him, at the
Castle Inn, at seven o'clock in the morning.
The meeting terminated amid the most enthusiastic
cheers.

SECOND MEETING OF MR. CARNE'S

FRIENDS..
Another meeting of Mr. Carne's friends was held at
nine o'clock, in the Fleece Inn, Scotland-road ; Mr.
Watson presided, in consequence of Mr. Burroughs being
obliged to leave on private business.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the meeting, said the
time was short. He had much pleasure in introducing
Mr. Came ; for if an honest man existed, that man was
Mr. Came. He had often said that Scotland Ward
was a new Liverpool in embryo, and, therefore, they
ought to elect a man who was acquainted with the
town. He would, without further delay, introduce Mr.
Came.
Mr. CARNE? who was greeted with immense applause,
said that he had already addressed meetings six times
with the last four days, and though it was not easy to
vary the matter each lime, but, as there were many
here who had never heard him before, he felt he
was under obligation to state to them his opinions,
and the grounds on which he asked their con-
fidence. He held large premises in Scotland
Ward, and paid large rates upon them, he was
therefore interested in reducing the rates ; and if they
returned him to the Council, he would endeavour to
keep them as low as was compatible with drainage and good
sanitary and other arrangements. There was one object
to which he wished to refer. It had long been felt a
great want that there was no road from this part' of the
town to the docks ; but the present condition of the
financial affairs of the corporation would not permit any-
thing to be done in it. The town no longer draws a large
revenue from the town dues, and though the corporation
had received what was said to be compensation for their
loss, it behoved them to use it with discretion. -In the affair
of the town dues, he believed he had somewhat against
their opponents, not so much against the Liberals of
Liverpool, who, in common with the Conservatives, ,
fought for the retention of the dues ; but, he would say,
that they owed the loss to the Liberals of the country.
He did not wish to detain them longer, and would only
say, if they elected him their representative,' he had
both the time and inclination to attend to the necessary
duties. Whatever may be the result of the poll, he will
always remember with pleasure the reception he had re-
ceived in this ward. (Cheers.)
Mr. SHIMMIN, who wAs loudly cheered, said, after the
clear explanation given by Mr. Carne, it would be Out
of place for him to detain the meeting by a long speech,
but would at once proceed with the duty imposed upon
him, which was to propose the following resolution :
" That, in consequence of the' elevation of Mr. Woodruff

Mr. OCCLESTON seconded the motion, which, on heing,
put to the meeting, was carried unanimously.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings.

MEETING OF MR. CLARKE. ASPINALL'S
FRIENDS.--LAST NIGHT.
A meeting of the friends of this gentleman was held
last night, in the Nightingale Concert7rooms, Bevington-
-hill. The proceedings took place at eight o'clock, and
previous to that hour the hall was densely filled. The
feeling on the occasion, in Mr. Aspinall's favour, was
most enthusiastic, and on entering the hall he was
greeted with deafening plaudits, which he duly acknow-
ledged. Mr. Walker occupied the chair. On the
platform we observed Messrs. Alderman Woodruff, J.
J.
Stitt, T. Avison, Corbally, :Thomas Leicester, James
Hobbs, Joseph Sheppard, John Blizard, S. Higginson,

The CHAIRMAN, after a few prefatory remarks, intro-
duced Mr. Aspinall zo the meeting as their future repre';
sentativb.for Scotland Ward.
