LIVERPOOL ELECTION.

The 'Reformers of Liverpool have been sneered at by
their enemies, as rushing into the recent contest ivithout
first duly calculating the strength with which they were to
battle through it. A plain statement of facts will at once
overturn this railing accu'ation. Let us in round numbers
put the state of the poll as it stood at the close. Lard
Sandon, 4,700 ; Mr. Cresswell, 4,600 ; Mr. Ewart,4,3oo;
Mr. Elphinstone, 4,200. Now of the pledged requisitionists
to the Liberal candidates, 250 were scoundrels enough to
vote for the two Tories. Had these men kept their word
the poll wou•.d have stood thus :—Mr. Ewart, 4,550 ; Mr.
Elphinstone, 4.450 ; Lord Sandon, 4,450 ; Mr. Cress-
well, 4,350. But besides these defaulters, there
were 350 more of the requisionists who did not absolutely
go over to the enemy, but who were bullied into remaining
neutral. Had these persons voted the poll would have
stood':—Mr. Ewart, 4,900 ; Mr. Elphinstone, 4,800 ;
Lord Sandon, 4,450 ; Mr. Cresswell, 4,350. We merely
go into these particulars to prove that the calculation of the
Liberal party were not rashly made, nor lightly taken up,
and that their defeat was not owing to the strength of their '
enemies, but to the basest treachery on the part of those
who prnf,ssed to be their friends. To the curious it may
be a point worth knowing, that of the old freemen 1,900
voted with the Tories, and 600 with the Reformers. It is
gratifying to know from this statem,•nt that, at all events.
the hearts of the great body of the householders are still
right,—Liverpool Chronicle.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS TRADE.—We are glad to state that on Saturday.
and Tuesday the demand for goods in the Halls was briskeir
than it has been for some weeks past, and that considerable•
business was done at the old prices. In the warehouses,
too, there is a marked improvement ; so that both goods
and wool may be fairly said to have reached the lowest
point. An immediate advance is expected.

HEcxmoNowicKE. —The blanket market continues
steady, with but little variation in prices.

BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a better attendance of

buyers at our market on Thursday, and more goods were
sold than for many weeks past, at a trifling advance in price.
There was likewise an improvement in the demand for
yarns, particularly in the finer sorts, for which better prices
were asked, but not in all cases obtained ; wools were also
in more request for combing, but the terms obtained were
pretty much the same as of late.
HunnEasnELD.—There was an improved demand for
goods here on Tuesday, and better prices were obtained.
HALIFAX MARKET.—There was no material change in
this market on Saturday ; business almost wholly suspended
on account of the election.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, AUG. 7.—There Las
been a good demand for goods to-day, especially for flannels
of the finer kind, but the manufacturers complain much of
the extremely low prices offered by the buyers. Though
Wool has been advancing in price for the last four or five
weeks they have been able to get very little more for their
pieces. Wool to-day has been difficult to buy at the last
week's prices.

STIRLINGSHIRE ELECTION.

lOur election has now finally closed, as far as it is a matter
of contention among the community, with a majority of one
for Mr. Forbes, as announced by the Sheriff from the
hustings, and this upon a constituency that actually polled
1,717 votes at the four different polling places. The
Sheriff also further announced that against nine of the votes
tendered for Mr. Forbes, protests, were regularly taken,
and three only against those tendered for Colonel Aber-
cromby. So much for the official account. Eleven of these
protests, we believe, are founded upon disqualification of
some kind or other, but. the twelfth is of a very curious and
rare description, and nothing similar to it has hitherto come
under our notice. We have instituted minute inquiry into
the case, and find every statement agreeing with what we are
now going to present to our readers. Mr. William Bow,
an old man resident in Lambert, went. to the poll at Falkirk,
along with a friend, and, after the usual preliminary qu .s-
-tions, was asked for whom he voted, when he said, " I vote
fur Mr. For—," and, instantly correcting himself, suid,
" No, I beg pardon, its Colonel Abercromby," upon which
an altercation took place, but the Sheriff overruled it for
Mr. Forbes, because his xtame was the first pronounced, or
partly uronsunced. Two cases exactly similar, we under-
stand, happened in Stetlirg, the first of which, if we mis-
take not, wasof a man who intended to vote for Abercromby,
stammered out Ms. F—. but immediately corrected him-
self. Mr. Campbel?, agent for Mr. F—, did not insist upon
the vote, and it was enrolled as intended. During the
polling, another of the same kind happened upon the other
side, and Mr. Campbell's generosity was repaid. This
was doing the thing like honourable opponents, each anx-
ious to promote the views of his principal, but not at the
expense of honour. Now, Mr. Bari' has always been known
as a Reformer, and so 11:r as we are aware, was never un-
derstood to waver in his opinions, avd went to the poll at
this particular time with tae avowed ;intention of voting for
Col. Abc.srcromby.—Stigirzy o.sserver.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, AuG. 12.

We have this week had a very extensive demand for Cotton, and
the sales have daily been heavy and at improving rates, establishing
a further advance of 14d. per lb. in the middle and lower qualities
of American. Brazil has participated fully in the demand, and may
be quoted I%d. higher. Egyptian is more saleable, and the lower
qualities are sparingly offered, and have advanced 1/d. per lb.. In
Surat large vales have been effected,- and they are 13d. higher. Dur-
ing the week 4,500 American, 150 Surat, and 70 Egyptian, have

GAMING IN CHANGE-ALLEY.— Another diffi-
culty presents itself in striking at the root of gaming ; it is
hard to draw a line between games of chance in this country_
Many share, joint-stock, and commercial speculations of
late years have been little better than gambling adventures,
started to dupe the inexperienced. The public funds form
another wide field of gambling, in which hundreds of per-
sons are daily engaged, and in which the chances of loss
(except to the brokers) are as certain as at Dennis's or
Crockford's. It would be quite preposterous to drive at
the hells" of the. west end—to legislate merely against
thimble-rig and little-go, while the giant Pandemonium in
'Change-alley is tolerated in all its ramifications of iniquity.

name of Every, as well as several other of the co-trustees,
had become insolvent. Mr. Case, an attorney at Maid-
stone, was called to prove the plaintiff's case, and he pro-
duced a number of letters which had passed between the
plaintiff and the other trustees and the defendant. The
same witness also produced a number of bills of exchange
which had been drawn on and paid to Mr. Beeman.
After hearing evidence for the defence the Jury returned
a verdict for the plaintiff.

CAUTION-PORTABLE WATER-CLOSETS.

NO sooner does an article of real utility attract at-
tention and secure extensive 'patronage, than adventurers
start up with imitations, to rob the inventor of the just recompense
of his labour. ROBERT WISS'S celebrated WATER-CLO-
SETS, on the principle of pumping the water from under the seat
into the basin, have met with the fate of all good inventions. From
the continual complaints made by gentlemen who have been im—
posed upon, R. W. very respectfully acquaints those who wish to
purchase of the inventor, and obtain a good and serviceable article,
that the Original Manufactory for Patent Portable and Fixed
Water-Closets is No. 38, Charing-cross, near the Admiralty.
_

Experienced workmen sent to all parts to fix the above, at hal
the expense of those on the old principle.

TESTIMONIALS.

Opinion of the Editor of the Albion, 12th Sept., 1835:—" We have
witnessed that Grimstane's Eye Snuff has justly excited such notice in
almost every quarter of the globe, as t a induce Don G. Lobe, Consul,
Stc , Ac., ea., and exclusive dealer in drugs and chemical products, at the
Havannah, in the Isle of Cuba, to so icit the sole agency in that quarter, to
which he has been appointed by Mr. Grimstone, through the medium
of Don Pedro Ortiz de Zugasti, 12. Artillery-place, Finsbury, the Spanish
Consul-General to the Court of Great Britain Attested, Ac., before two
witnesses.

The following is a copy of llon G. Lobe's letter
Mr. W. Grimstone, London. Havannah, 28th April 1g35.
Sir,—My house, G Lobe, doing business exclusively in drugs and clic-
.nical products in the Island of Cuba, and this part of America, it will
not surprise you to hear, that I have known of your excellent Eye Snuff
for the sight, and removal of pains in the hea,l, &c , for some time,
and that I should have procured it by means of my correspondents in
London, Messrs. Pinto and Co., n 6, Crutched-friars. It has proved such
an unfailing and certain remedy, that it has given universal satisfaction;
and the demand I have for it, with its undoubted efficacy, has called- my
attention to its practical effect. Ido consider it to the interest of my
house to solicit the sole agency for the Isle of Cuba ; not doubting your ac.
ceptance of my terms, as I shall always send the cash with my orders, as in
slits case. I have enclosed you a bill five days' sight, on Charles Buttar,
Esq , 15, Angel.court, Throgmorton street, London, for which you will
please to send boo cases of your celebrated Eye Snuff. It will further oblige
me, if you will have some of your testimonials trAnslated into Spanish.

AT MARGATE.
The WILDERNESS and BELLEVUE GARDENS, and
RESIDENCE, a capital opportunity to invest with safety.
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY NEXT, March 2,
at Twelve,
A Delightful and most inviting FREEHOLD
INVESTMENT, comprehending
" THE BELLEVUE AND WILDERNESS," ON
THE HILL IN THE DANE NEAR MARGATE.
This property is familiar to the frequenters of Margate, and it has
been the subject of wonder and reproach that such a situation has
not long since partaken of the march of improvement, and become
a source of considerable annual revenue. As a
MARGATE VAUXHALL AND PUBLIC GARDEN
it would necessarily place at an immeasureable distance any rival
contemporary; the views are almost indescribably beautiful. In
the panorama—the wide ocean, the Nore Light, and the rural vil-
lages form conspicuous objects, while Margate fills up the coup d'ceil.
The Residence is. adapted for a family, and easily appropriated to an
hotel and tavern, the offices being abundant, and in good keeping
with the whole; there are Two Acres of Land disposed in the best
possible taste, meandering walks which are graced by an infinity of
shrubs and evergreens, and deciduous trees in the most flourishing
condition, forming a labyrinth; there is a basin with a jet d'eau in
the centre over which the Graces are presiding; in fact, there ap-
pears every thing important to incline the speculator turn this pro-
perty to highly important advantages ; to a builder it would be a
mine of wealth, the frontage would be irresistible with a view to
erect such first-rate abodes as are alone wanting to place Margate
in a more elevated situation. There are several hundred pounds'
worth of bricks already on the estate, and a wall by which the two
acres is environed.

THE ESTATE IS ALL FREEHOLD,
plentifully supplied with rain and spring water ; and one-half of the
purchase money may remain on mortgage.
Particulars may be had 21 days antecedent to the sale, at the
Libraries in Margate, Ramsgate, Canterbury and Dover ; of Mr.
Boys, solicitor, and Mr. Parsons, solicitor, Alargate ; of Mr. Terre-
west, 43, Lincoln's-Inn-fields ; at the Auction Mart; and in Covent-
garden.

rogate to themselves all the honour ane(ertiop-nem
of the thing, and have even excluded the peerditi3i,N.
and ladies of the Foreign Ambassadors, that they
may comfortably stow away their own goodly persons
round the tables in Guildhall. We had suggested
a mode by which the corporators might have gra-
tified themselves by being in the presence of royalty, -
and yet have obtained some character for true hos-
pitality, and that manly politeness which evinces itself
in due respect and attention to the fair sex, and we
believe that suggestion met the approbation of the
great body of the inhabitants of London, at whose ex-
pense, as we have already observed, this entertainment
is given. Our recommendation to the Common Coun-
cilmen was, that they should do that which would be
obviously gratifying to the Queen, by inviting the
ladies of the foreign Ambassadors, and those of the
Peers and distinguished Commoners who had accepted
their invitation, and that they should act as stewards,
considering it an honour to wait upon those ladies,
and even stand behind their chairs, as the Lord Mayor
does behind that of the Queen, until he receives the
royal command to be seated. This would have ren-
dered the scene much more interesting and agreeable
to the Queen, and would have been creditable to the
taste and gallantry of the civic body, who have sacri-
ficed to gross selfishness an opportunity of raising
themselves in the estimation of their countrymen and
of foreigners which they never may have again.
They could have dined early, and dined, too, at the
expense of the City, in one of the Courts of Law ad-
joining the Guildhall, so as to be quite at their ease at
dinner time, thus affording between 100 and 200 seats
to ladies of rank and distinction, whom the Queen
would have been pleased to see there ; but the tempta-
tions to selfish indulgence were too strong for their
sense of politeness. If the English character suffers in
consequence, we have discharged our duty in showing
how the reproach might have been avoided, without
deplacing the wife of any member of the civic body. It
is now our fervent wish that nothing worse may happen
to mar the satisfaction which all loyal people derive
from the public honours paid by the first city in the
empire to our youthful Queen. We hope that the
employment of the civil force during the day, and more
especially in the evening, will be so efficiently regulated,
as to protect the lives, limbs, and property of peaceable
citizens from the danger and depredation attendant
upon scenes of popular excitement in the metropolis.
