MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
LIVERPOOL.
The election of a chief magistrate to preside over this
great commercial community is this year of more than ordi-
nary interest. Two gentlemen have been nominated for the
honour, and both are belonging •to the Conservative party ;
one, however, though nominated and seconded by Conserva-
tive members of the council, has had but a few members of
the party to support his present claim to the honour of pre-
siding over the council, his great reliance being on the Ra-
dical section, all of whom supported him. It is with the
greatest pleasure we announce that the election has fallen on
David Hodgson, Esq , a gentleman in every way calculated
to do honour to the chair. At the present time the result of
this election is important, as an evidence of the feeling ex-
• istine amongst the leading Conservatives of the town, who
in 'placing Mr. Hodgson at the head of the council, have
shown an approval of his straightforward and consistent con-
duct on many questions having special reference to the Esta.
blished Church. In common with all other good and true
men, he is cordially hated by the local Radical press—no
small recommendation to all men of right feeling.
The council assembled at twelve o'clock on Monday, and at
one proceeded to the business of electing their chief ma-
gistrate.

F. SHAIW, Esq., in nominating Mr. Hodgson, thus ad-
dressed the council :—Mr. Mayor, the first business will be
the election of a chief magistrate of this borough in succes-
sion to yourself; and while we see you-about to retire, carry-
ing with you the approbation of this council and of the
town at large, it of course makes us more anxious that we
should select a gentleman who will occupy that seat in the
able manner that you already have done. I therefore beg
to propose Alderman David Hodgson, as a gentleman well
qualified to receive that trust which you, sir, have so ably
fulfilled—a gentleman who in various engagements has
shown that he knows the business of the town well ; and I
believe that no man is more desirous of protecting its in-
terests—a gentleman who will bring to that object the
highest integrity of purpose and the spirit of an energetic
and intelligent mind.—(Hear.) I make no political allu-
sions upon this occasion, because, although I can assert that
he has done the state some service, I know that, on entering
that chair, he will leave all politics behind; and I am quite
sure he will, with the same spirit that has animated him in
presiding over another body of this council, be able to fulfil,
wsth independence, courtesy, and impartiality, the duties
entrusted to him.—(Hear, hear.) With these observations
I beg to propose that Alderman David Hodgson be mayor for
the ensuing year.—(Cheers.) •
Mr. BRANILEY Mooaa rose to second the proposition of Mr.
Shand, in whose observations he fully concurred. He would
not trespass upon the time of the council by adding to what
had been so ably expressed by his friend.—(Applause.)
Mr. G. H. Lawrence was proposed by Sir Thos. Brancker,
and seconded by Ambrose Lace, Esq.; and on a division of
the council the numbers were, for David Hodgson, Esq., 35;
G. H. Lawrence, Esq., 25; thus securing Mr. Hodgson's
election by a majority of 10.
With a few exceptions the Conservative party supported
Mr. Hodgson, all the Radicals voting against him. Imme-
diately on'
the division the newly-elected Mayor was intro-
ducedinto the room by his proposer and seconder, and took
the oaths, and was invested with the seals of office.

BIRMINGHAM.
On Monday a meeting of the Town Council was held in
the Committee-room of the Town Hall, for the purpose of
electing a Mayor in the room of Thomas Phillips, Esq., whose
year of office terminated this day. The usual preliminaries
having been gone through,
Mr. Councillor RODWAY proposed the re-election of Mr.
Phillips in a highly complimentary speech, in the course of
which he observed that he firmly believed nine tenths of the
burgesses were decidedly favourable to the re-election of the
present Mayor.—( Hear.)
Mr. Councillor MATcuELL seconded the nomination.
Mr. Councillor LUCY proposed Mr. Henry Smith as a fit
and proper person to fill the office of Mayor, and took occa-
sion to advert to the well-known business habits of that gen-
tleman, and his general qualifications for the discharge of
the onerous duties which devolved upon the Chief Magistrate
of so important a borough as that of Birmingham.
Mr. Councillor PEMBERTON seconded the nomination of
Mr. Smith.

The Council was then addressed by several members of
the body, when it became evident that Mr. Phillips would be
re-elected. That gentleman, however, on putting the pro-
posifon to the meeting, said, he regretted that circum-
stances had recently occurred which would prevent him from
filling the office, and if re-elected, he should be obliged to
avail himself of the privilege of the Municipal Act, and de-
cline the honour. Upon this announcement the Council
unanimously elected Mr. Smith.

SHOCKING SUICIDE.-Another proof of the direful
results which the preaching of such fanatics as Dealtry and.
Burgess, who recently honoured this town with their pre-
sence, is calculated to produce upon the minds of the cre•-
dulous and ignorant, has, we regret to state, been afforded in
the suicide, at an early hour on Friday morning, of a woman
named Netherton, the wife of an ostler residing in Gibbons •
lane, in this borough. The poor woman, it appeared, at-
tended the lectures of the worthies above-named, and fright-
ened at their declaration of the near approach of the day of
judgment, she has ever since been in a state of mental de-
rangement, and thus it was, that being left alone for a short
time on Friday morning, she put a period to her existence by
nearly severing her head from her body.—Plynioude Herald
