AN ATI Ai GRATIS WITH THE "DISPATCH."-011 and after
Sunday, October 4th, 1857, each copy of the Dispatch
will be accompanied with a map, a chart, or the plan of
of a principal town, so as to furnish to each subscriber,
gratis, the most comprehensive, corni lete and generally
useful Atlas hitherto published in Great Britain. The
size of the engravings wall be that of one page of the
newspaper, six maps and two plans, in each year, will be
of double the size— 17 inches by 25. The ordinary maps
will be correctly tinted, the charts will he properly relieved
in blur, and the plans will he printed in a rich colour.
The double maps will be the object of great attention in
the desire to make them beautiful specimens of map
colouring. It is hoped, in the course of no unreasonably
protracted time, that the Dispatch Atlas will contain
more names and positions of places than any other English
publication of the kind. The counties will be given se-
parately, and where they are large and populous, as in the
case of Lincushire, each division of the county will occupy
a page; again, the Sta'es of Italy will be the subject of
six distinct maps. The names of the draughtsman and
engravers will be the best guarantee for perfect accuracy.
The maps will be as full as clearn. ss and reference will
allow. Corrections and discoveries will be given from
the best authorities. The engravings will be in the
highest style of art, many thousands of pounds being
devoted to their cost, and they will be taken from ( riginal
drawings expressly prepared for the series. Directors of
mechanics' institutes, the conductors of all educational
establishments, the proprietors of hotels, reading-rooms,
and coffee-houses, will, in pf sze,sing the Dispatch Atlas
be supplied with a daily want, The money value of the
completed work may be best ascertained by inquiring the
selling price of any large and trustworthy colltction of
maps. The Dispatch Atlas will he forwarded with the
numbers of the paper at the usual price, sd. per copy, or
6d. stamped. On the first issue some hints will be given
for preserving, indexing, and binding the Atlas. Orders
received by every news-agent and bookseller in the king-
dom, and at the _Dispatch effice, 139, Fleet-street. The
Fliday evening edition may be received in the most distant
art of the kingdom on Saturday morning.

GE NT L E ME N,— A most respectable and
if fluential deputation of Electors having waited upon
me thi. morning, and urged me to offer myself as a Candidate for the
representation of your Ward in the Town Council at the approoching
Municipal Election, I feel it to be my duty to comply with their rtquest..
and to offer to you my best s rylces. Having already had the honour of
representing another Ward is the Council tor a per od of six years,
my opinions upon the principal local questions of the day must be
well known to you; and you will bo able to judge from the votes
which I gave during the time I was a member of the Council whether
they were such as to justify your support. Should yen deem me
worthy of that support, and elect me to be one of your representatives,
I shall consider it to be my duty to devote myself to the promotion
of your interests —I am, Gentlemen, your faithful servant,

Mary local improvements are much needed, and I shall use my
best energies to aid in carrying them out, if they can be effected
without laying addli nal burdens upon the inhabita' ts. If the yet
large funds at the disposal of the corporation be judicicualy and skil-
fully managed, I am of op nion that such improvements may be
safely and gradually effected.

Years of agitation have um ortunately marked the 'progress of the
Water Question-1 shall, if (slatted, give it my best attention, and
endeavour, to t e b. st of my ablity, to have this vexed question
settled to the satisfaction of the Burgesses at large.

se've you faithfully—if otherwise, I shall cheerfully submit to your

Liverpoo', September 12th, 1857.
To JAMES CzomELP' Esq , Chairman of the Committee of Liberal
Electors of Castle-street Ward.

I have received a &solution, passed unanimously by your Com-
mittee, requesting me to become a Caniidate for a seat in the Town
Council cf this Borough, for your Ward, on the id of Novamb next.
I have to expre s my sincere thanks for the confidence end honour
thus offered me unsought. You know that I have no virer to leave
the retirement o' private life.

I am of opinion that it is inconsistent with the fair and impartial
discharge of the duties of a Representative that he should have
obtained his Election by a personal soliaitat'on for votes. This course
I should on no acconnt whatever pursue ; but, should the Elect it's of
Castle-street Ward, by a legitimate exerci e of their rights, return
me as one of their Representatives to the Council of my native town,
I should feel it my duty to obey their call.
I need harely say that I hold the political principles known as
"Liberal" these principles I inheeited ; iu these principles I was
educated; and, of their immutable truth and jar ice, the experience
of a life of hal' a century has most thoronghiy convinced me. I
shall, the efore, only declare my continued, consistent, and unalter-
able belief en their correctness, and en, ire applicability to all-matters
of public concern These principles I sincerely believe are advan-
tageons'y applicable to tl.e business of a large community like that of
Liverpool, at,d, if followed up with moderation and firmness, will, I
believe, be acceptable and IR neflaal t, a'l parties.
The late transference of the management of the Docks and the
TownDuesfrom the control of theTownCauncil I conceive to have been
unjust and inexped'ent. It wit, however, render more needful a
thorough investigation into the remaining property of the Corpora-
Law, with ricer wme Inure compiere aevelopement of its value, and
its more efficient application to the requirements of this rapidly
increasing community.
As I have stated, I have no ambition for a seat in the Council ;
but if it should be the desire of the Electors of Castle.street Ward to
cad me to fulfil this duty, and if they tra t their interests to my
guardianship, it shall be my endeavour, and it will be my duty, to
convince them that they have not misplaced a confidence wh:ch it is
a high honour to have obt Inc d, and a still higher honour to retain.
Believe me to remain,
Very respectfully,
JAMES RYLEY.
