in favour of T. B. H nsfall, Esq., and C. Turner,
leiclee as the representatives of the borough, was held at the
NesHotel, Pitt-street, for the purpose of taking the ,
eee 'all' steps for the promotion of the retn'n of these
1e ;gentlemen to the Commons House of Parliament. The
-tine, was held in the large room at the above hotel, and
Was Well attended by the electors, and it is scarcely
ii!ellary to say, that host G. Hofken did his utmost to
;I accommodation to so numerous a gatherieg,
ef 11% Charles Callis, the chairman of the committee for
Is ward, presided, and amongst the other friends of the
,tididates present were Messrs. W. P. Jeffreys, Rigby,
'leiray, W.
Lloyd, Ellison, Sharpe, Taylor, Duncan, and
utarir others.
re Pr'n taking the chair, Mr. Callis was most cordially
beeive;d• The applause having in some degree subsided,
es;Bl"l—they, as canvas e-s, had then concluded their
—ess• and therefore as that was a day of public gratiflea-
an ,
11.1. for no person could hut feel the gratification th tt he
hi-
theatre all of them had felt et the meetin at the Amphi-
tre
On that day, he felt it as his duty to
4n17 that after looking over the canvass books for
ttt street ward, he found the result most satis-
e;c7s and if all the other wards in the town did their
e,-oflas well as they hal done, Messrs. Ho-stall and Turner
d be returned by a most triumehant in jority./ (Great
Ole
fre-Iner'ng.) He hoped the same result would be received
1, every ward throughout the town, [At this period Mr.
r::4°11 Councillor Jeffreys entered the room, and was
i,'"eeived with the most rapteroas applause.] The chairman
tia_ving reiterated his former observations, said it was. quite j
eear that it was the wish of the inhabitants of Liverpool
Setter
ally,—hence the good that had attended the meet-
le? 011 that day,—that Mr. Charles Turner should be
tipirtled as the representative for the borough. (Cheers.)
at,,,then referred to the statements that had been made
`ue meeting, which statements he said had been clearly
Etti..4ted, as to bribery and treating being the cause of Mr.
arner's being returned on a former occasion, but be was
e,t?ll3l' in having the pleasure of stating that, although he
bpik ethers connected with the ward had been accused of
a' 'err, and that too in the very house tuey were then

(eli.ei• nor would they do so, even to win an election.
and If they could not get a man's vote by argument
e'a reason, they would not have it at any price. (Hear,
pattr• and cheers.) At a meeting of the Reform
for:, it hid been said that Mr. Turner was only come
ef,k"ard to gratify his own vanity, and that it was a piece
It rwresarnption for him to come forward. Who stated it ?
b. iisas Mr. Jeffery, and he thought that gentleman should

Cl at the meeting of the Conservatives, hell in the
ihaate i ,ildon rooms, on Tuesday last, from which it appeared
'lr. H. Littledale had, at the commencement, expressed
e„°Pitsion that the borough was already well represented,
egs''_that there was no occasion for a contest, hut
_that his
4iiervations had been received with murmurs of
re Probation, the result of 'the meeting being that a
tution was proposed to invite Mr. Charles Turner to
n.tel forward with Mr. Hersfall, and that that resolution
it'sba e;lrried all but unanimously, the only pers ins opposing
Btaeing Mr. Campbe'l and Mr. H. Littleda le. Having d welt
sax:late length upon the principal political questions of the
t 1);" he expressed the satisfaction- that he felt that both
to candidates had given such straightforward nilswers
evi,ery point that had been put to them. (eneers.)
r eL'hairman then posed a very high eulogium on the
be of this country, the liberty of which he conceived to
liete,true bulwark of E igiish liberty, and expreesed a
vie;:taat all coup ries would ere long enjoy the same pri:
,y4elil,ithat they did in England ; if they did so, and persons
re•ii rrin —teal, then there would be no fear of such rwn being
tkleed as Mr. Ewart. Ire then, with much ea fleshless,
Pon the electors of Pitt street ward to do iheir duty
erat the duty they owed to themselves, but the duty they
li'd to the public at large, to do their utmost to support
I:.4sre. Turner and liorsfall. The Chairman resumed his
"t amidst much applause.
tollafter a short delay, a universal cry wig raised in the
111 that Mr. Councillor Jrffreys should say a few words.
r• Jeffreys would say a few words, hut, after (xpreEsrg

euo4ll'; what he should Say would appear in print, he did
iriesi that he felt some reluctance in doing it ; bait still, as
th,e'd been called upon to do so, he would not shrink from
grea,"Pansibility that had devolved upon him. He then with
kemt; argumentative powers,endeavoured to impress upon the.
tan"dng the duty they had to support the two Consarvative
teen dates, and stated that it was his opinion that after
bettc,ltY years experience, the Conservative party had never a
esii,j, chance of securing the return of two respectable
,k'uates than on the present occasion.
