ST. ANNE'S WARD.—Last evening a meeting of the
friends and supporters of Mr. Clarke Aspinall, candi-
date for the representation of this ward, was held at the
house of Mr. Hallowes, Christian-street, Mr. Roger
Fraser in the chair. Mr. Fraser, in opening the pro-
ceedings, said he Was sorry that Mr. Aspirrat had been
called out of town on Saturday, and had not yet returned,
but he hoped that by ten o'clock they would see him in
that room. After a neat speech, he introduced Mr.
Henry Midhurst, who, in a number of elegant extracts
and high-flown sentences from mother tongue, pro-
posed the following resolution :—" That this meeting
believes • Clarke Aspinall, Esq., to be a fit and pro-
.
per person to represent St. Anne's Ward in the Town
Council of Liverpool, and pledges itself to use every
legitimate means to secure his election." Mr. Jabez
Jones seconded . the resolution, and a number of
gentlemen then addressed the meeting against time,.
until the arrival of Mr. Clarke Aspinall, including Mr.
J. B. Aspinall, Mr. Kitchen, and others. Shortly after
ten o'clock Mr. Clarke Aspinall entered the room, and
was received with enthusiasm. He briefly explained
the cause of his absence, and proceeded to lay before his
audience his peculiar political and social views. He
said he should. advocate the utmost and rigid economy
in the management of the corporate property; he was
an advocate for the rating of the docks for the benefit
of the poor in Liverpool, and he would be a firm sup-
porter of large and comprehensive public improvements;
the meeting broke up about half-past tea o'clock.

FIRST CARGO OF NEW TEA.—The clipper ship Ellen
lodger, which sailed from Foo Chow on the 10th June
with the first cargo of new tea; has arrived in London.
. THE AFRICAN MAIL.—The Athenian (s.s.) sails with
the mails for the West* Coast of Africa, this -forenoon.
. The box at. the Post-office will close at 9 15 a.m., and
'the receiving house on the Landing-stage will be open
fo: the reception of letters on the payment of a late
fee of 6d.

CRIME BIRK ENHEAI).-It is a melancholy fact
that notwithstanding the zeal with which the autho-
rities of this town labour frr the suppression•of Tice,
there still exists, as is generally
.the case in rising
towns, a large amount .of crime. As an instance of
this we may mention that of a number of ‘.‘ unfortunates"
brought before the Police-court yesterday,. for being
drink and disorderly, the number of times of their
appearance. ranged from 115 to 50.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD,

A public meeting of the friends and supporters Of Mn.
Clime was held yesterday, iu St. Mary's' Schools, Itirk-
dale, Mr. Edward Whitley in the • chair ; and among
those present were—Messrs. D. Crosthwaite, J. C.
Dreaper, J. Lengton, Barkelh S. Holden, J.. R.
Chambers, G. Horriby, W. Pitts, It. Sim*, Dr. Chal-
mers, &c., &c.
The CHAIRMAN, in his opening remarks, expressed a
hope that no personalities would be indulged in, with
respect to any person. Mr. Stitt was a gentleman for
whom he had great respect, and he hoped nothing
disrespectful would be said of him. He considered,
however, that Mr. Stitt was not the representative of the
opinions of the vast'majority of that ward. He believed
the majority of the electors were determined to show
Mr. Stilt that he did not represent their opinions in the
Town Council, and this determination would. be carried
out by returning- a gentleman who would prove himself
more fitted in every way to represent those opinions.
Sine. Mr. Stitt had been elected, he had invariably sup-
ported that extreme party, who might possess great
oratorical powers, but who did not command the esteem
and respect of their fellow-townsmen. The time had
arrived when the people of Liverpool could despise such
liberality as only found vent in talking. It would be
remembered that but a short time ago, when their re-
spected friend, Mr. Anderson, brought before the Council
the efficient state of the Corporation Schools, that Mr.
Robertson • Gladstone made a most unwarrantable and
unfounded attack on those schools, stating that, be-
cause the Bible was read there, and religious instruc-
tion was given there, a considerable portion of the
population of Liverpool was excluded. In that attack
Mr. Stitt supported him. On this ground, if he had no
other, he would call upon the electors of Everton and
Kirkdale Ward to oppose the re-election of Mr. Stitt,
and in place elect a gentlemen who would support
the religion of the Church ; and that gentleman was
Mr. Came. (Cheers.) He was aware that there was
every probability of success with such a gentlemen
to oppose Mr. Stitt. They had another candidate who
commanded their respect, in the person of Mr. Ilubbock.
He (the chairman) had been a long time connected with
municipal and parliamentary elections, but he never
knew anything received more enthusiastically than that
Mr. Hubbock should become a candidate for the ward.
He had waited upon Mr. Hubbock with a requisition
signed by nearly 500 electors; and, singular to state,
these names had all been obtained in about sixty bouts.
This proired that. Mr. Stitt had not their confidence, and
that he did not represent their opinions. This being
so, it had been thought advisable to ask another gen-
tlemen, who would represent 'them in the place of Mr.
Hubbock, who could not • stand ; and that person he
thought they had found in his friend, Mr. Came.
(Cheers.) For eighteen years lie had resided in that
ward, and was, - therefore, well acquainted with their
wants. He was a man of considerable ability, and had
a great deal of leisure at his command, and lie was
willing to devote these to the welfare of his townsmen.
He was also a good Protestant—(applause)—one who
would support the Church of. England as the safeguard
of the-Protestant religion, but who was also willing to
extend
.to others the means of serving God in the
manner which they preferred. With regard to matters
of local interest, he would do ev,Tything in his power
for the interest of the electors. He would always be
found willing to hear any suggestions, and try to carry
their wishes into effect. He would not detain them
longer, but at once introduce Mr. Carrie to their notice.
(Cheers.)
Mr. CARNE came forward, and was received with
tremendous cheering and waving of hats. He said he
felt himself much flattered by the kind manner in which
they had received him. He feared that he might not
be able to express himself in a manner which should be
at all equal to the strong eulogy which had just been
passed upon him by the Chairman. He did not feel
entitled to all that had been said of him, but so far as
his time and ability were concerned, no one could be
more ready than lie would be to devote them to their
service. (Applause.) He had been for some years
almost retired into private life, during which time
his attention had not been given to local matters as
much as it ought, and as much as other people's had;
and as lie had not been a public speaker for some time,
he hoped they would extend their indulgence to Min.
He had been told that his politics and religion were not
known to many, and that he thought very natural; but
he had to say that he was a Conservative in every sense
of the word.. (Laughter and cheers.) He had been a
Conservative as long as lie could remember. His father
had been a Conservative, and he had lived for eighty
years respected by all—so much so, that at the
.period of
his death, all parties seemed to vie in eulogising his
memory. When he thought that with such principles
his father had done so, be thought that the principles
which he possessed were good. HiS father's motto had
been " Live and let live," and such were his own principles.
He had always been a Conservative, and if anything had
been necessary to require him to hold to these prin-
ciples, it would have been the wholesale abuse which
Was heaped on Conservatives by the opposite party.
To hear them, it would be thought that there was no
bribery but 1.;), the Conservatives. (A voice : Wake-
&ld !) They all remembered Mr. Horsfall in Derby,.
and on that occasion one man said he had received
money from the Reform Club, which was to be ex-
pended in bribery. Then they had another
.instance,
in Gloucester,' that it was not the Conservatives
who bribed, but the Liberals. It was, quite certain if
the Liberals did not exceed the ConserVitives, they were

objection to reform the abuses which might be pointed
out. In his religious opinions he was a Churchman,
but had been attached to the Low Church ; but lie
could not object to other for es of worship. He did
lament that in many places the clergy had adopted
many old forms and ceremonies that were of no value,
and had received an amount of opposition in the church,'
which had been followed by bad results. With regard
to the objection to the Bible, lie was convinced that the
Bible should not only be read, but taught in the cor-
poration schools. He thought the party who objected
to it should haVe given some reason why it should not
be read. Some might say that they would not object
so much if the Douay version was read ; but the
difference was not so great as to be observable to gene-
ral readers, and certainly not to children. There must
be some other motive, he was convinced. It was a wish
to keep people in the darkness and in ignorance. No
one who wished well to the lower classes should attempt
to exclude the Bible from the schools where their chil-
dren ware taught.. He had now explained his religious
principles, and lie would say a few words on the rading
of the docks ; and with respect to that question, he had
always been in favour of having the docks rated. He
could not conceive why the decks should not be rated.
It was held that there was no beneficial interest ; but
as there was a profit arising from the docks, so there
must be a beneficial interest to some party, and why
should they not pay the rates ? He had been on the
Select Vestry, and he knew that a great number of people
were brought over from Ireland by better wages being
paid. When these people came here, they got work for
a short time at the docks, and then they remained on the
parish; and he thought there was no doubt but that the
docks should contribute their fair proportion towards
the support of these people. He then said he should be
glad to answer any questions put by any person present,
as his local knowledge was not so great as it had been,
and no doubt they might think of some things he had
omitted. He expressed his regret that Mr. Hubbock
had not been able to contest the election • but he should
do his best to discharge his duty if elected. He sat
down amid loud cheers.
The CHAIRMAN said he had received a note from Mr.
An.2erson, expressing his regret that he wag unavoidably
absent.

Mr. DREA PER then rose and moved the following reso-
lution :—" That this meeting, having heard the state-
