we noticed Alderman
(Chairman of the Ward), Messrs. J.
__vain, F. A. Jones, Thos. Fleming, Hugh Neil!,
Arthur Henderson, R. A. Payne, Calshaw, 'Zimmer,
Gregory, King Ellison, J. B. Cooper, &c. Mr. Alderman
Wood having been called to the chair, Mr. TOBIN, in an
eloquent speech, moved a resolution calling upon the
electors to give their hearty support to the two gentlemen
who had been fixed upon to represent the Conservative
interest in this town. The battle which they had to fight
was not, he contended, one of an ordinary kind. It was
not the battle of free trade, or of any sectarian character,
but the more comprehensive one, whether the Govern-
ment of the country was to be carried on by a constitu-
tional party, or to be handed over to men who were pre-
pared to rush into all the excesses of unmitigated demo.
cracy.—Mr. R. A. PAYNE seconded the resolution, which
was carried unanimously.—Mr. FLEMING moved the
second resolution, which was to the effect, that in the
present crisis of public affairs it is important that the
electors should give their fullest support to the adminis-
tration of the Earl of Derby.—The resolution was se-
conded by Mr. CULSHAW, and carried unanimously.—
Mr. Was. CAOW, of 88, Wood-street, here stepped for-
ward, as he stated, unprepared to address the meeting;
yet a more effective speech has seldom been delivered by
':d orator. Some of his hits against the
were extremely happy ; and his description of
John Russell's ministry, as having been destroyed
by spontaneous combustion, convulsed the meeting with
laughter.—After some interesting remarks by Mr. H.
NEILL, and a vote of thanks being passed to the Chair-
man, the proceedings terminated. The best possible
Ipirit prevailed throughout ; and we are happy to hear
hat the canvass in this ward is proceeding most favorably.

After a brief address from the Chairman, in the course of
which he made the important assertion that " every nier-
without exception, who had anything to do
Lne import of goods or shipping, had found his ca-
pital diminished, and all his operations carried en with
loss."—Mr. JOHN RIMIER moved a resolution condemna-
tory of the policy of the late administration, as having
produced depression in trade and in shipping, and ex-
pressing confidence in the administration of the Earl of
Derby.—The resolution having been seconded and passed,

dressed the meeting at considerable length ; after which.
Mr. JOHN RIGBY, Chairman of the 'Ward Conservative
Association, moved a resolution approving of Messrs.
